And now Part 2 of my salute on the 60th birthday of the New York State Theater (renamed David H. Koch Theater) at Lincoln Center that I managed in the early years of this century. Yesterday we saw a couple of early construction photos from 1964. Above is the architectural photo of the finished building... Continue reading Special 3 Day Throwback on a 60th Birthday Part 2
April 24, 1964
On this day, April 24, in 1964, a beautiful baby was born. It turns sixty years young today and is a long term favorite of mine. I managed the New York State Theater (since renamed the David H. Koch Theater) from 2000 to 2003 and it was a memorable experience. During these next three days... Continue reading Special 3 Day Throwback on a 60th Birthday Part 1
Pajamas to Work Day
Finally an utterly charming and tasty A.I. Mash-up in my series where I ask Google's Gemini to create hybrid images. April 18 is National Animal Crackers Day and the third Thursday in April is National High Five Day. Put them together and voila...National Wear Pajamas To Work Day started in 2004 so we have had two decades to get used to it. But since the Covid-19 Pandemic it has taken an entirely different cast. With work from home more prevalent it is much easier to wear pajamas to work. So I hope today you wear pajamas to... Continue reading National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day
My A.I. Mash-up Series
I've gone a little overboard in having Google's Gemini Artificial Intelligence program creating weird images for an odd cluster of National Days that have resulted in funny and sometime disturbing visuals. So when I saw today's group of National Days I thought I could finally befuddle the program. Today's group of special days include National... Continue reading My A.I. Mash-up Series Cleverly Overcomes A Challenge
Breakfast of Champions
To add to your collection of Artificial Intelligence Image Mash-ups (you ARE collecting these, aren't you?) I present one for April 7. Today brings us International Beaver Day, National Coffee Cake Day and National Beer Day. Toss them all in the Google Gemini Image Maker and we come up with... Breakfast of Champions...Today is April 4th and by shorthand for the day, known as National Jeep 4x4 Day (get it?) I've long been a fan of the Jeep brand because of their capabilities and their history. For a long time I owned a Jeep Grand Cherokee and for a shorter time a Jeep Wrangler. Loved them both...

Random A.I. Mashup
When I get the slightest bit bored I check the calendar to see if I can make another silly mashup of clashing National Days. The First Wednesday in April is National Walking Day and April 3rd brings us National Find-A-Rainbow Day and National Chocolate Mousse Day (yummy). So I put them in the Google Gemini... Continue reading Another Random A.I. Mashup of National Days
More A.I. Mash-ups
One thing driving my Animal + National Day Mash-ups is that the A.I. image generator I use (Gemini nee Bard from Google) has recently suspended generating any images of actual people because of some unfortunate inappropriate ethnic mash-ups in offending combinations. Until they work that out I am abusing my ability to have them generate... Continue reading More Animal National Day A.I. Mash ups

Happy Easter
In the year 2024, March 31 is Easter Day. You will find many religious posts today on various blogs but I will take the silly secular path instead. The Easter Bunny bounces around the calendar each year which puts it in partnership with different National Days. You know what that means on this blog. Yep...
