What's Happening In Englewood, Co

08/17/2026

I went to Pinterest looking for an image that I could take and turn into something completely different. I found an image that I could use very quickly of this cat made out of orange slices.

I turned it into a cat stuffed animal.

After that, I created a realistic scene of a girl playing with the cat in her bedroom. Of course, the cat stuffed animal and the girl in her bedroom are both fake.

The lighting for the cat in the image of the girl holding the large cat does not match the lighting of the girls' bedroom.

I reduced the size of the toy cat and I matched the lighting on the cat to the lighting in the room.

There is also a fake image of me photographing the smaller cat toy sitting on a bed in a fake bedroom.

If you like what I did here, check out my other three posts for a lot more of my use of AI.

I tried something new with AI today. This is my original photo of Ricco's Pizzeria, in Englewood. Notice the coffee shop across the street.

Today, I decided to use AI to swap out the real coffee shop with my own coffee shop.

I azked the AI to attach the coffee shop to Ricco's. I also placed myself in the new version of the image, which it did quite well. No complaints.

Then I noticed the the second pole right next to the veterinary clinic. I did not ask the AI to add the second pole with Hampden on it to be in the image.

I also did not ask the AI to add the veterinary clinic, but I don't have a problem with it being in the image.

The Hamden street sign should be placed perpendicular to the Broadway street sign, not parallel to the Broadway sign. That is the problem.

I tried to explain to the AI by showing the original image to it again and asking it to place the Hampden street sign parallel to the dark colored car. That gave me the original image of Ricco's with the weird looking street sign.

Since I am only playing around with this for fun and to seen what is possible with AI, I decided to stop.

As you can zee, AI is pretty good and getting better every day. When I first started using AI two to three years ago it was far worse. People had sixteen flingers on their hands and three hands.

Play around with AI and see what you can do with it. The more you play around with it the better you will get.

By the way, if you have not eaten or ordered take out food from Ricco's, I encourage you to give it a try. It is my favorite restaurant in Englewood. I was not asked or paid to say that.

Thiz is a continuation of what I posted here yesterday about missing out by not using AI for your Business. Go check out the images that I generated yesterday using AI. Here is a headshot of me wearing a sleeveless sweater and here is an image of me generated by AI of me walking a dog I don't own and have never seen or photographed. The town is aloo not real. Then I azked the AI to change the type of dog, add the khaki hat and change the sweater to sleeveless. The real sleeveless sweater does not have buttons, but I did not tell the AI that my real sweater does not have buttons. The AI only does what you prompt it to do, in most cases. However, sometimes the AI will put things in the image you don't want. I could change the sweater again, but I am not going to.

What have you tried doing using AI?

If you have a business and you have not started using AI as a marketing tool, what are you waiting for?

By learning how to use AI now, to market your products and/or services, you will have a huge advantage over most of your competitors.

If you are not using AI to market your product and services in the form of both images and videos, you are really missing out. Here are some examples of my work.

The glasses are mine, the tie is mine, but the tie colors are off. The coffee mug is also mine and the cat food is mine, but not the cat.

I can usually create these images very quickly, some times in an hour.

Can you create them yourself, maybe you need to know how to talk to the AI in order to do so. But, once you learn the process to create an image, it can be quick, and maybe it can be done in one try.

I tried numerous times to get the tie colors correct. But some times it takes two or three attempts. But I can do it in far less time than it takes to hire models, lighting crews, and studio space.

Englewood businesses (like coffee shops, boutiques, or service providers) can use mockups like these for their social media and marketing materials.

Have you experimented with AI product mockups yet?

TAX RETURN for 2025 - very important, don't lose out getting the new tax deductions. $$$$$
I am not a tax expert, and this is not tax advice. But, possibly a bigger, or full refund if you pay attention.
I just finished my 2025 tax return paperwork, but have not filed yet.
There are a number of changes you need to know abut when filling out your tax return.
These include - No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, No Tax on Car Loan Interest and the Enhanced Deduction for Seniors.
For seniors, people age 65 and older in 2025, you will likely file a new form called - Form 1040-SR. It has an additional page for you to fill out. There is also a Standard Deduction Chart at the very end of the form.
I almost missed the new senior $6,000 tax deduction because I wasn't aware of the new tax form for all of the new tax deductions for both seniors and non seniors.
Originally, my tax refund wasn't what I expected, it wax smaller, not larger than what I was hoping for. But, then I found a new tax form.
This form may bring you additional tax deductions, depending on your income.
File SCHEDULE 1-A (Form 1040) to claim these deductions, to see if you qualify for the deductions.
If you are a senior, and you qualify, you may be very happy and you may want to file your tax return quickly to receive a larger refund this year.
I am going to be looking into Free File to file my federal tax return online, to get my refund quicker.
