Apple Computer was founded on this day in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne in a California garage to sell Apple 1. I first heard chatter about Apple when I was exploring computers at local community meetups and gatherings (which, back then, were rare), mostly consisting of a half-dozen or so nerds, of whom, little did I know at the time, I was destined to become one.
You don’t just experience life—you eventually understand it. Three days after returning from Acapulco, I was sitting quietly in our home, when something unexpected happened…
This past Sunday hosted a celebration of fantastic music played to a great crowd of around 600 fans of local talent. The free Party In The Park concert hosted by the Cul-De-Sac Cowboys at Flat Iron Community Park in Apache Junction (AZ) was beyond excellent.

Collectors, investors, art enthusiasts, and luxury lifestyle audiences alike strolled the aisles and enjoyed miles of art of every variety. The beautiful 117,000-square-foot, air-conditioned North Hall at WestWorld of Scottsdale is the perfect venue for a premier art experience unlike any other.
Last weekend, while in Las Vegas, I took a time out to check out the local car scene. In my previous post, I shared my story and miles of pics from the Las Vegas Cars & Coffee. Right after, it was time to stop in on an old favorite, ATOMIC MOTORS, to visit with owner Bill Biler and see his amazing collection of classic cars, street rods, and awesome custom truck collection, along with all the shop upgrades he and his team have done since my last visit in 2024.
It’s been a while since I’ve attended the Las Vegas Cars & Coffee hosted by Celebrity Cars. At one point, I stopped by this show almost weekly, but since moving to the Phoenix/Mesa Valley a couple of years ago, my focus has been on local car shows within Arizona. But this past weekend, I was in Las Vegas to take care of old business and couldn’t resist stopping by my old favorite weekly Cars & Coffee gathering on Eastern in the Twin Peaks parking lot at 9510 S Eastern Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89123. And I’m so glad I did! The collection of amazing sports cars, racers, classics, street rods, and custom trucks was everything I remembered and more.
Whenever a song stays with someone that long, I get curious. Over the years I’ve noticed that songs often say something deeper than what we hear when they are simply playing in the background. You’d think that once I had learned that lesson, I wouldn’t forget it. But today it came back to me. I realized that I had never fully grasped the depth and beauty of the song, so I went back and read the lyrics again.
It could not have been a more perfect morning for a car show. Friends and local car fans have suggested I check out the Mesa Cars & Toys Car Show for some time, and today was the perfect opportunity to do so.
The artist vs. AI battle over copyright and creative infringement has been ongoing for a while now. Up until just recently, the big question was “Are A.I. images art, and if they are, who created the art, and so who owns the copyright to the images created?“
Patriotism and desert skies shone bright for the American Legion Apache Post 27 Car, Truck & Bike Trophy Show. Several dozen beautiful rides on display, including classic cars, muscle cars, hot rods, street rods, sports cars, cool trucks, custom motorcycles of every variety, and even a cool Freightliner semi.
