Words & Letters
I’m always adjusting the format of these posts. The feedback, which is usually positive, (thank you all very much) is somewhat limited. I’ve tried more images, less words, more personal, quotes, and I even tried a daily version with five links for a very short time. I’ll be adding a few more variations in the […]
Most of these posts follow a pattern. There’s a bunch of links from one discipline, maybe two, and then a random collection from others. This week that pattern is gone. There are two work articles and then one each from a variety of mediums. In all the years I’ve been doing this, I can’t remember […]
“I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong. If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. We will not become enthusiastic for the fact, […]
In the spirit of the times, I’ve used chatGPT to help me write this week’s intro. You’ll find that it’s longer than what I usually write. Why? Because I didn’t write it. I did edit and curate the output into something that I’m comfortable with. I also used Grammarly, to fine-tune at the end. Here […]
The fact that we are jumping into May seems unfathomable to me. January was two minutes ago. I started a new job, everything was new, and there was so much to do. There’s still so much to do–that hasn’t changed. Progress is being made on all fronts. I can see that, but it’s never enough. […]
I’m looking forward to Summer: warm days–like the whole day, longer days of light, and ice-filled beverages. I can’t wait for all of these things and more. Until then, I’ll be heads down, working on some new sites and side projects. Industrial Design Mobile Phone MuseumOver 2600 models and all the physical buttons Ronnie Fieg […]
The humans are under attack. That’s what the news keeps saying. Artificial intelligence is here. It’s taking our jobs. The sky is falling. There will be fallout from AI–I’m not delusional. We have no idea what this is going to look like yet. Will it be Terminator or Star Trek: The Next Generation? Only time […]
It’s too late to get deep into a bunch of words this week. I’ll leave you with this sad factoid. In 2000, Alabama became the last state in the USA to overturn its ban on interracial marriage. OK, with that as your baseline, let’s look at some smart ideas, pretty stuff, and more positive creative […]
Running a little behind schedule today–but that seems to be a theme lately. I’ll catch up soon. Juggling was never my strong suit. It wasn’t the throwing, I was never great at the catching part. I was much better with a yo-yo. Rock the baby, man on the flying trapeze, and round the worlds all […]
Sometimes the books I read shine a light (or cast a shadow) that is hard to ignore. This is what books are supposed to do–give you a new perspective. You need to be in the right headspace to take in the information, and you have to question the concepts to spin the idea from multiple […]
