Call Me the Breeze
Current events are pretty crazy right now so it’s time for music. So, here’s one of my all-time favorite bands. I think there are only two original members in this version. Enjoy.
My fluid attitude about AI
AI has been a concern of mine for years, not that I don’t see and experience the great possibilities but rather my career had me behind the curtain and too close to software development and the sloppiness and motivation behind the scenes.
