Listening to a recital of Beethoven got me thinking about the power of one person to make a huge impact.
Last week, I wrote an online guided tour of an emerging technology. The scenario included a clothing chain. To demonstrate how the solution responds to unexpected occurrences, I wrote that a dress sold out after an influencer was shown wearing it. The next day, I read how singers like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé have vast […]
Is the metaverse a new concept? And can it replace reality? Explore my latest post.
While the capabilities of “artificial” intelligence have the potential to turn science fiction into reality, “artificial” products haven’t always been an instant hit. Check out my latest article.
A few nights ago, a candidate in the Republican presidential debate commented, “I’ve had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like ChatGPT standing up here.” What’s astonishing is how quickly the word “ChatGPT” entered the vernacular.

An initial response came from a former employee who wrote, “Dell was not your home – nor will your next employer be home.” Having worked for Dell, on-site in Round Rock, Texas, I somewhat disagree with the statement. It makes sense that one shouldn’t prioritize […]
Last night, I saw a weird dystopian movie in which people “sold” years of their lives, using the money to improve their subsequently shortened expectancy.
