YouTube Version  Listen to the podcast here   How I Make Vegan Gluten-Free Bread at Home With a Bread Machine By Paul Perez I enjoy making fresh bread at home. Lately, I’ve been baking a  vegan, gluten-free loaf  with a bread machine, and it’s surprisingly simple. My bread machine is the  Cuisinart CBK-110 Bread Maker, which makes small, warm loaves with minimal effort. Just  add ingredients, choose the program, and the machine handles everything. The gluten-free recipe takes about 2  hours and 15 minutes , giving me fresh, homemade bread. Why I Make Vegan, Gluten-Free Bread My diet is primarily  vegan , at least in terms of the foods I eat. I follow this diet mainly for  health and longevity , not necessarily for lifestyle reasons like clothing or other products. I also try to eat  gluten-free foods  whenever possible. I don’t have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, but I’ve noticed that avoiding gluten hel...

This is the podcast version https://youtube.com/shorts/fzM024NM4wo?si=P66hqKpS5hrjhiTS Click this link for the YouTube Shorts version of this article   These are the 9 items I’ve sold on eBay since January 1, 2026. Most of these items are things I’ve owned and now getting rid of. Some of the clothes have holes or stains. They can still sell at a lower price. The sleeveless Harley-Davidson shirt with a small hole sold for $10. The smaller pizza bag that I’ve held onto since COVID sold for $20, as examples. The sleeveless Harley Davidson shirt which sold. I'm publishing this to reinforce what I’ve said before about eBay. Sell the stuff you no longer use. Make space for the new stuff you will buy. I, too, am a consumer and will be buying new stuff that I'll eventually sell when I’ve run out of use for them. One of the items sold was a smaller air fryer for $25. Helping me make space for a larger air fryer with a ceramic basket, which is supposed to be healthier than the p...

      Listen to the podcast here     Watch the YouTube version here       Sony’s AI Ghost Player: The Future of Gaming (And Why I’m Not Mad at It) by Paul Perez This article was assisted by AI     I know I’m late to this story. Other podcasts and YouTubers have already covered it. But after reading about Sony’s new patent for AI “ghost assistance,” I had to share my take — because this might actually be one of the most exciting ideas in gaming right now.   The concept is simple: if you’re stuck in a game, an AI-powered ghost character can appear and show you what to do. Not just a hint menu, not a YouTube walkthrough, but an   in-game presence   that can demonstrate moves, overlay guidance, speak to you in natural language, and even handle parts of the game for you.   For many gamers, the first thought is: “That’s not gaming anymore. That’s cheating.” And I get that. But for me, it opens up a new way to interact with ...

The video version of this article with my unfiltered thoughts.   By Paul Perez After visiting my brother and catching parts of the show at his place, I came home, made dinner, and watched the rest while I ate. Just because these games stood out to me at  The Game Awards 2025  doesn’t mean I’ll actually play them. For me to try a game, it usually needs great reviews, to be available on PlayStation Plus or Game Pass, or go on a steep sale on Steam . Still, some games stick with me because of their art, presentation, nostalgia, or just how original they are. Here are titles from The Game Awards 2025 that caught my eye.  Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Nostalgia heavy This is a remake of the original  Tomb Raider , which came out almost 20 years ago, and it looks great. Crystal Dynamics, the team behind the recent trilogy, which started in 2013, is making it, and it feels like a brand-new game. What stood out to me is how  empty  it feels, with Lara Croft ...
