Vacation...All I Ever Wanted

With my job and health, we didn’t get to take a vacation this summer. I knew this quite a while ago, so I booked us one this last week. We went to Colorado Springs, and took the kids out of a couple days of school.

Crazy Dreams

I have always had crazy dreams.Maybe it is just me, but I learned a long time ago that sometimes when I am asleep I can take control of my dreams. Not every night, but sometimes when I am asleep I figure out in the dream that I am in the dream world.I’ve had dreams that come true.

I keep seeing a variation of the phrase: “AI won’t take your job, it’s somebody using AI that will take your job.” It was originally spoken by Richard Baldwin last year at the World Economic Forum’s Growth Summit. Mostly, it’s used in university advertisements trying to recruit students.
