We’re living in interesting times. The lead candidate for the republican nomination for presidency just wants everyone to give up and anoint him their candidate now, despite finally starting to face the consequences of years of fraud and treating the legal system as a cudgel to use against anyone
AI is Going to Change Everything
Working in digital marketing, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and what it can and should be used for is all the rage right now. If you want to understand AI better, the best source is really Chris Penn– who has an excellent set of videos and regularly explains what’s happening in

Reflection
2020 has been a crazy year. It doesn’t seem to be slowing down much, either. The pandemic has given me time to reflect about what’s important, and what I believe. This morning, I was thinking about how I was raised with certain core values. Others I have come to
