An Introduction From Dave
Welcome to The Daily Dave. This is a noncommercial, personal blog that contains my (often rambling) personal thoughts and opinions. I have no plans to monetize it.
I hope you’ll share my content. You are welcome to link to my posts or use short excerpts, provided you credit dailydave.com, and include a direct link to the original material. Don’t steal content!
Privacy is important to me. This site doesn’t ask for any personal information — there is no login, commenting feature, or subscription forms. If I do end up with any personal information, I will never intentionally sell it or do anything else sneaky without your permission.
Everything here is Copyright 2025. If you’re reading this and it’s no longer 2025, assume that I haven’t updated this page yet so the copyright is whatever year you’re in right now.
When I use someone else’s work, I aim to attribute it accurately and link back to the original source when possible. If you see an uncredited screen grab from The Simpsons or Futurama, they come from frinkiac.com or morbotron.com, respectively.
That’s my spiel. The sections below were generated by ChatGPT.1 They are intended to reflect the general principles I’ve set out in this introduction. Please interpret them with common sense.
- I’m not a fan of AI, but I’m even less of a fan of being sued because I wrote nonsensical legal stuff. ↩︎
