Did you know that writing and drawing with pen and paper activate parts of the brain tied to creativity and problem solving?

Slowing down helps me think better. That's why my desk is filled with notebooks and scraps of paper where I've scribbled ideas and sketched out projects.

I can't believe I just hit the "Download and Install" button for ArcGIS Pro 3.6.0 -- I typically wait until at least a few bugs are squashed and it's like version 3.6.2.

Anyone else made the jump? if so, what features made it worth it for you?

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA."

This is what's happening in epidemiology.

Can confirm, they were on by default. I have opted out.

I'm so sick of "AI" being shoved in my face.

This AI "smart features" fad is going to crash at some point, right?
Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality.

New to me so sharing -- for those of you who didn't know, there's a font available that gives you tiny US state shapes that can be used as design elements.

it's called State Face, a project by @propublica.org
