The instruction given is excellent, but I don’t think he should give that gig up for the comedy circuit.
I also looked into his sponsor’s courses. They seem to be put together really well, but I’m always leery of putting my card out on the net, and even leerier of “it’s-a-free-trial-but-we-need-your-credit-card-number” type deals.
On Tuesday of this week, the “Search image with Google Lens” line still read “Search Google for image.”
.
Yesterday, the bunglers at Google replaced the “Search Google for image” program with “Search image with Google Lens” a piece of programming that doesn’t work at all well; hence “Bungle Lens” ( I thought it would be obvious, but my mind is weird, I guess).
Even the people at Google had to know this programming is poor. They left the option below open at the bottom of the side panel that now comes up. Even using that option doesn’t give the nice, clear results of “Search Google for image.” It’s another case of “fix-it-’til-it’s-broken.”
You have to remember, too, that we don’t all use the same browser.
My Firefox right-click menu doesn’t offer search by image at all… though it’s readily available other ways.
When I do use it, it asks whether I want to use Lens, but (so far) doesn’t substitute.
…
Personally, BTW, I prefer Google Image search to Bing, as I get more relevant results…
but I really think it depends on your own personal algorithm, derived from your previous visits to the platform.
Google Image search is not as good as it was, because they were sued over making images available without a visit to the page…
but it’s still faster for me than Bing. It may be different for you.
….
I think Bing and I somehow got off on the wrong foot, cos it first wants to find me restaurantsnamed after my search term, rather than a definition or examples of its meaning.
No, thank you, if I search for an animal, or a flower, or some such, I am NOT looking for a cafe in New Jersey called that.
Oh… another pair of iconic roles for Orshound Welles and Joey Mutten…
I’ve said that even in my teens, I was a Joey Mutten fan, much to the consternation of my friends…
Here he’s cast as a writer, of sorts, searching for the truth about his old friend Welles…
while making his way through the half-lit streets and alleyways of Vienna, in the British film that helped define classic noir…
“The Third Basset.”
Welles didn’t direct this one… and neither did Hitchdog…
though it has some of the flavor of both their oeuvres.
….
Instead, it was the great English director, Carly Feed-me.
Tense, involving… though to me, a bit hard to follow at times… it’s a journey into its time and place…
as the mystery deepens and finally starts to unravel,
disentangling the plot bit by bit from a dark but ethereal vision of postwar Vienna, as it gets torn apart by the haunting enigma.
The city, the carnival, the shadowy corners, are central characters in the film.
…
Much as I like Mutten, and the story… um… mumble mumble years later, what sticks in my memory is mostly the picturesque flashes of unusual places and deep shadows.
Also bits of the music… which on its own sounds incongruous for a mystery, as though the soundtrack got mixed up with a much later Fellini movie…
I never saw the movie, myself. But, one of these days, if I see that it’s on TV, I’ll have to watch it. Like you, I like the music! Glad you enjoyed the videos!
It was a Canine Film 101 class staple, usually preceded by Citizen Dog, back in my college days.
If you didn’t see it there, you saw it at one of those old movie “festivals” or “retrospectives” common to university towns…
Or if you HAD seen it, you saw it again.
Otherwise you could hardly have a conversation with anyone who ever took a film class, and thus become worldly wise, in the innocently arrogant way only 18 and 20 year old college students can carry off without being murdered.
I posted a song up above in the comments called The Dog Song by Nellie McKay. I had never heard it before, but it just happened to play on an old NCIS show that I was watching last night, and I liked it immediately. (The episode when Abby is really drawn to an injured military drug-sniffing dog.) Abby plays the song in her lab.
I know, I know….. too much detail! At any rate, I thought it was really catchy and not geared to kids…just really well done. I thought that maybe a lot of folks might pass by it because it does have kind of a juvenile title. I hope you give it a try.
Then, of course, there’s always the possibility that no one will end up liking it but me!! That’s OK, too! I’m fine with that!
I had never heard of the song or the singer, but your plea moved me to give it a listen. The young lady is a very good singer. She really styles the song in her own way, and it swings.

I would name her Tribble.
That is what a Tribble would look like if it had eyes.
And that nose.
Perfect!
Some off color language.
Funny as hell.

Try “Bing” instead.

until you remember the Ferris wheel.
I love it… very evocative.
You know Stel posted the film theme above….
I do like watching him play it, though.
You’re welcome.
You’re absolutely right…..it is the very definition of film noir.

chocolate? did you say chocolate?

So much colors. So many things to look at.
