Charmion, great minds think alike—yesterday I started with the long extension duster to dust the ceiling fans all around the house (seven total). Knock off the dust before it is launched into the room when the fan is turned on. Using the duster with a bit of a roll of the wrist helps pick more up instead of knocking dust off of the blades. This is a must for spring cleaning (I bought Hunter fans for every room, even replacing four that were already in the house. They live up to their reputation for quiet operation.)

That choir video has all of the markings of AI, so I went looking. Under Professor Archive this is part of their "about us" text:

It also has an AI sing-song narrator voice that I can't listen to for more than a couple of minutes. I wonder if there is a good article about this somewhere that might not generalize so much and offer actual numbers. Here are journal article results from a Google Scholar search and here is an advanced Google search (more commercial or general interest journals than the first results).

I'd like to see if my daughter can meet for lunch but I have a lot of stuff going on around here that needs attention, and I finished figuring my income tax yesterday and have to file them and pay (the federal deductions weren't enough so I owe some, but a lot less than last year). Get that nastiness over with. Lunch with my daughter is much more pleasant, so phuck the IRS. ;-)
