    AI And Podcast Creation

    Google’s NotebookLM is letting people share their “podcasts” generated from their NotebookLM data with the world. First off, would you listen to an AI generated podcast more than a human-made one? Secondly, isn’t this just adding to the slop that humans have been putting out as podcasts anyway for years?

    Get Away From The Computer And Network IRL

    Seeing my friend Martin Focazio announce his new role (congrats again Marty!!!!) by pointing out the importance if in person networking, made me realize how important it is to get out and meet people and networking in person.

While this is good, we need to remember to not only take time for ourselves, but also our family that is with us in real life (IRL). Last weekend I attended WordCamp San Antonio virtually.

    More Social Now?

    Before the Covid-19 corona virus pandemic, I was in a flow. It was regular and comfortable. Now that we’re all stuck at home, I feel that there are more things going on and that I’m being more social than I was before. Yes, we are home schooling our 7 year old son. That takes time…
