  • AI tools and where to find them

    I first caught wind about how access to A.I. Tools is opening up to the general public through the Urgent Optimists community as they discussed face-search tools like PimEyes and A.I. art (text to image) like Midjourney. You might like to read the blog posts I wrote about face search and AI art: And in less than a year,… Read more

  • Nighttime habits (a “Scrolling is the New Smoking” riff off)

    Today’s Big Social eerily resembles yesterday’s Big Tobacco. Scrolling is the new smoking. Scrolling Is The New Smoking, an article from forbes.com At some point, a nagging voice inside you must have whispered something in your gut, like, “Stop.

  • “Highfalutin gobbledygook”

    Smartphones weren’t as available before as ubiquitous as they are now. So to access and get copies of prints from the web, I went to an internet shop, accessed the web, and printed the web pages on bond papers which was costly at the time. But my grade school self never stopped at that because… Read more

  • Who do you do it for?

    Being clear about who you do it for makes the intention evident for everyone involved and affected by your actions. Say, you post a Happy Mother’s Day greeting on Facebook, which details your gratitude for your mother. However, you do not tell these things to your mother face to face, especially when you can do… Read more
