In 2-3 Years, AI Will Mean There Is Basically No Way To Tell What Is Real and What Is Not

This is a huge problem. (I think I’m fairly tech savvy but I’m already having situations where my kids are saying “Dad – that’s AI!” They’re more skeptical but will they get sucked in too as it ges better and better?) In 2–3 years, there will be no way to tell what’s real and what’s […]

Saturday Snap – Getting Fancy For Shea’s Christmas Party

Pretty amazing that one of the doctors that Shea works with picked up the entire tab for a Christmas party, both for the staff at his clinic plus the unit he works with the most at the hospital. And he didn’t cheap out – appetizers, full buffet meal, photo booth, games, DJ and dancing. It […]

Music Monday – “I will come back here, bring me back when I’m old/I want to lay here forever in the cold I might be cold but I’m just skin and bones/And I’ll never love England more than when covered in snow”

One of the single saddest moments of my life was leaving England a couple days before Christmas after a four-month college exchange. I still consider the single most joyful stretch of my entire life – the people, the sights, the experiences – just pure living in the moment and openness to the world that greatly […]
