Just another spectacular day in San Francisco!

Enjoy the view from The Presidio, San Francisco, today

Afternoon walk through San Francisco

Another project on the renovation punch list is finally being produced!
Keep in mind that the renovation was in 2013. The wife is a little annoyed with me.
This is a bathroom vent. The center hole is a 4 leaf clover design, from 1932, that is used throughout the building.

I'd be a dead man if I had this vending machine.

OMG! Martin Short is interviewing Bill Maher in Jimminy Glick costume. Super hilarious!

Just finished designing the user-experience for one section of my app.
Took the entire week.
Now I need to design the user interface.
But first, a martini. 🍸

Product idea to assist the #Ukraine war effort: Drone-deployed wireless routers/repeaters to facilitate remote piloting of battle-drones.

If a flexible communication network can be established and physically reconfigured in the conflict areas, the quantity of drone operators can be greatly increased by keeping them far from the front lines.

Drone deployment would be done in-mass. Recharging would have to be automated at battery switching stations that are also drone-deployed.

We are merely patterns passing through society and the world.

Like a wave, we change them for a short while.

But it does change the world.

Be a good pattern when you are changing the world.

After 6 months of issues with the 3D printer I finally got the car charger/phone holder printed today.
Ya, I should just buy one. I know...I know.

I just added up the procedures I need to design for an app I'm developing. I thought I was almost done. Been working on it all day.
Nope.
I mapped out all of the steps.
I've done 2.
I need to do 15.
I guess this is why nobody's done this before.

Mass walkout protest at Stanford's graduation ceremony today.

Just broke a wine glass.
I'm so pissed.
Wedding gift.
Really expensive.

Phew!
Round one has been completed on the User Interface (UI) design for the app. 12 pages of wireframes.

I have 4 more user types to design pages for. Probably another 8 pages.

Then I have to switch from the system being a private one to a public one and then design that.

2 weeks of work so far.
I'm already exhausted.

I think I'll be done by July if I stay focused.

Our San Francisco mayors are having a debate tonight.
It is streaming live, too.

And they want you to pay either way!

Really? Pay to see my candidates debate?
I guess we'll be seeing a pole tax before long.

You are always in control.

I woke up from a dream where my client cancelled our contract. And, it's probably going to happen due to budget issues.

Uncomfortable though it is for me, I spent the day contacting everyone I knew that might have consulting work for me.

I've got a number of hot leads.
1 day of work.

You are always in control.
But it's not always comfortable to choose to get back into control.

Looks like most people wouldn't find it useful to understand how their jobs or careers will be impacted by AI. Only 1 out of 11 people voting would use it. Still, 9% of the total market of working people is substantial.

Product idea:
An app that tells you how AI will impact your job.
You enter in your data (or it interviews you) and it uses it to assesses the impact of AI on your specific job at your specific point in your career.

Ultimately it will provide guidance on how to adapt your career path to minimize AI's impact.

Would you use it?
