Roast My Resume

I was going through my timeline on X and came across an interesting post.
This one.

This guy through himself to the mercies of the Google Gemini and deliberately directed to criticize his Resume. "Is this man crazy?", I thought. The results were as hilarious and brutal in equal measure. So I decided to try it too. I mean I did not think I had anything to loose. I am currently looking for employment and if it could help me improve my resume, I thought it was a minimal risk. What I was not prepared for was how brutal and painfully honest it was. Well, I did ask for a "roast". I should have asked for medication for the burns too. Here is the prompt I used in Gemini. 

Roast my resume, referring to the one attached here, overlay this with insane roast scribble, red ink, doodles, remarks, comments; output as  image, 8.5 X 11 in; determine if it will pass ATS

I used the prompt on two different versions of my resume.

Version 1 Gemini's Response


Version 2 Gemini's Response



So after some back-and-forth editing and prompting I finally came up with my final version. 

Thanks Gemini.

Parler Vs the World

In the beggining 2021, David Wood began a series of posts tracing how Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Twitter crushed the platform Parler as a rival platform to Twitter on the pretext that Parler allowed itself to be used as a platform for hate speech and to organice the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Google Trials Internet by Balloon | Geeks are Sexy Technology News

Google is testing new technology for making the world wide web truly world-wide by using balloons to bounce wireless internet signals to cover parts of the world that does not have access to the internet. This has so many possibilities.

Today, Google released a Doodle in honor of Nicolaus Copernicus' 540th birthday. Here is a video of that Doodle. It's an illustration of Copernicus' Heliocentric model of what he thought was the universe. Really amazing.

Neo video games: mind controlled or mind control? - National Worldview and Science | Examiner.com

Mariano has posted an interesting article on mind controlled video games. I think he raises some valid points. I think that is a human mind can be read and manipulate a computer, I see no reason why it can't go the other way to some degree. Given the technology companies like Google are working one like Google's Glass, there is some evidence that things are going to be going this direction more and more..Some film-makers have created a short-film about how such technology would eventually look like. I would like  to point out that like all technology, this doesn't have to be evil or used nefariously. It can be used to help people and move us forward...provided we don't do with it as done at the end of the film.

Read Mariano's article here:

What Happens to Your Digital Life When You Die? [Video Infographic]

The world has surely changed. Ever thought about what happens to your social media presence or blog or YouTube Channel after if you died?
Imagine if one of your best friends kept a trunk of of their personality… Their likes, dislikes, photos, home videos, conversations, feelings and secrets. Then out of no-where, when your friend is hit by an airplane, Google comes knocking at your door with the legal right to take, use, and recreate whatever they’d like using what’s in your friend’s trunk. Seems wrong doesn’t it? This is already happening. The biggest culprit has to be facebook. I know I’ve uploaded years worth of data and personality traits to my facebook account that even if I was dead, a stranger could get a sense of who I was and I’m not even a good facebooker.
It brings up some very important issues. Added to that, this week I have found out about the trend to doing infographics as videos instead of just an image.

SOPA/PIPA are bad ideas

Today, January 18, 2012, several internet sites "went dark" - meaning they shut down to protest two pending laws  we are in danger of being passed. I've seen several  good web articles covering this today. Here are some snippets that will help you understand what is going on if you have not been following this.

Simply put, the kind of copyright laws SOPA supporters (which include companies like CBS and Viacom and organizations like the MPAA and the game industry's own ESA) seek would make it very hard, if not impossible, to foster the kind of creative space we have carved out here at Experience Points. Government-endorsed censorship, blacklists, and monopolies have no place in the video game sphere, on the Internet, or any in any other realm of human culture and society.

Stop SOPA and PIPA

As promised, several major sites on the Internet have gone dark today in protest of SOPA—the Stop Online Piracy Act, a bill that’s making its way through Congress as I type. The intention is good, but the proposed execution is horrifying: SOPA is intended to counter those pirating movies and other content illegally, but as Google explains, the bill would lead to paralyzing censorship. SOPA could shut down sites like Crushable, if we posted a video that a movie studio didn’t approve of.

SOPA Blackout: The Best Tweets From The #FactsWithoutWikipedia Meme

The reason everyone's getting so upset about the Stop Online Piracy Act is because it isn't just meant to crack down on those of us illegally downloading the new Adele single or watching that HBO show on Megavideo. SOPA casts such a wide net that it would affect the entire online experience as we know it, in ways that reach far beyond the goal of preventing file-sharing. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the possibilities amid the kerfuffle—words like "censorship" and "felony" have been throw around a lot lately. So we're telling you about some concrete changes that SOPA would set in motion. What would a post-SOPA internet look like? Here's a glimpse of a dystopian future.


What Would a Post-SOPA Internet Look Like?

The Stop Online Piracy Act asserts itself so broadly—it aims to regulate everything from counterfeit prescription drugs to intellectual property rights—that it’s difficult to begin to imagine all the ramifications. The only thing I know for sure about SOPA is that it would be a very bad thing for people who frequently use the internet—so, everyone—and that it would sit its big, weighty body on the fragile skeleton of free expression and crush it into a million little splinters. It would inspire fear in everyone who creates content online, even if they’re only doing it for their own Facebook friends, because most of us are ignorantly pirating or consuming pirated best-of clips of Groundskeeper Willie, making the sites we use most liable. YouTube, Twitter, Wikipedia, Google, Wikileaks: What we’re facing here is the death of fun, the end of profound, drool-inducing engrossment in 50 pages of someone’s sporadically-chronicled life, a ban on giggling alone at your desk.

How SOPA Would Kill Fun

Another video that should be watched is this one!

There is even a theme song for the protest!




The Day The LOLcats Died - #SOPA #PIPA Protest Song

One of the things we can loose is the legal right to post some interesting images, movies, and other user-created things. No more internet memes. This would be tragic. One meme I've been enjoying the past 3-4 months came from the video game Elder Scroll V: Skyrim.The line is  "I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow in the knee!".  The line has been recast in very interesting ways. Including this one dealing with SOPA/PIPA.




I used to be a blogger like you, then I took a SOPA and PIPA in the knee!

The Internet Justice League [Pics]

So what would the social networking giants of the internet look like if they were the Justice League? College Humor has answered that question:

Google is Superman
Facebook is Batman
Reddit is Green Arrow
Amazon is Green Lantern
Huffington Post is Wonder Woman
Google+ is Aquaman

Use the following link to get a better look at the pictures and read why they were matched that way. It's hilarious and spot on.. Unfortunately Twitter is missing. I'd match Twitter to Hawkgirl.

Infographic: Visualizing the Republican Debate - Politics - GOOD

I admit that I haven't been closely following the Republican Primaries, but Google has compiled info from the debate and the data has been converted into an Infographic.

You can look at the video on YouTube using the following link.
