[1 of 3] I have to respect the hustle that viewers of Tony Robbins’ AI Summit have shown.
The Summit is set up like a scaled-up all hands Zoom call, and viewers are encouraged to turn their cameras on.

[1 of 2] I’ve had Tony Robbins’ and Dean Graziosi’s “AI Summit” on in the background, and Day One (yes, it’s three days’ worth) can be best described as “No stuff, just fluff.”

[1 of 2] I didn’t know they did this until recently: there’s a “Just the HP ZGX Nano” version of that recent “Intelligent Machines” podcast featuring Product Manager Andrew Hawthorn and Yours Truly talking about the AI workstation. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out!

Sending a laptop back to the client today. There was too little bubble wrap in the box to safely ship the laptop. Fortunately, I have lots of grocery bags; they’re pretty good packing material. I included a note for whoever will unpack it, plus a little something to make their day.

You’ve probably seen the YouTube ad with Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi talking about their upcoming AI seminar.
I have some free time on my hands this week, so I signed up with one of my “sock puppet” accounts and plan to watch it and report my findings.
This should be interesting...

Glenn Clifton Jr.’s rapper name, Young Bleed, was eerily prescient. I know I’ve already got the “Accordion Guy” moniker, but I should also porbably adopt “MC Awesome New Job” just in case your name is your fate.
In the spirit of nominative determinism, what’s your rapper name?
