Big turnout during the event launching this project.
Very insightful documentary as well.

Hey San Franciscans, please take a look at this letter that has been written by TogetherSF to encourage local politicians to fund solutions to the addiction and homelessness programs. The text can be read before you submit. Please also pass it along.

Life hack:
After drinking half of your morning coffee, scoop in some chocolate collagen supplement and fill it back up with hot water.

Delicious.

Moonrise over San Francisco tonight

I just spent three days doing a tutorial on Angular software development.

I don't think I'm going to be any good at this for a while.

I actually think I'm about about to do something really stupid like start developing a website using Angular.

I should really start with a glass of wine.

After 6 hours of PowerPoint development, my brain is officially fried.
(I can't even type this toot)

And, its #nationalwineday.

Guess what I'm about to do?

We live in a country where one sanctimonious, simple-minded jackass can manipulate our legal system to force their beliefs upon us.

Rhetoric is quite powerful. Especially upon the simple-minded.

I just listened to Alan Alda's pocast interviewing Eric Topol about the COVID pandemic.

Interesting research being done on Long COVID. He says that 10s of Millions of Americans are probably experiencing it.

Also, the virus often finds a long-term home in the upper respiratory locations.

I wonder if we will find that the body has learned to compartmentalize pockets of the virus in the nasal cavities and just a little bit escapes to cause a low-grade battle that causes long-COVID.

I'm knee-deep in a tutorial on Angular so that I can build an application.
Exhausting.

Great news!!!
The transfers were about to kill 100 residents at Laguna Honda.

"I am writing to share the very good news that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) agreed to our request to continue the pause of involuntary transfers of Laguna Honda residents until September 19, 2023. CMS also extended payments for the care of our residents through March 19, 2024." --Roland Pickens

Start your day by doing quick tasks.

Then do a few tasks you have been meaning to do for too long.

Then get to work.

New "product" idea: Drone Mine/metal detector. Attach a large metal detector onto a drone. Fly it in a pattern over the farms of Ukraine to find the mines. Target each detection with a more precise drone-detector system. Then de-mine those that are discovered. They could clear more fields faster and get their production back wherever they reclaimed land from the Russians.

Here is a job for AI: Realtime fact-checking.
That CNN Trump "town hall" could have had a constant assessment of his statements being executed by an AI in a side panel. Faster than a human. Maybe it could be moderated by a producer, but the moderator wouldn't have to be on top of every lie.

I just paid for better service with #ChatGPT.
I'm using it 80% of my day.
It's like I've hired a developer. An average-skilled developer, but at least one that moves the project forward and doesn't complain.
You still have to know how to ask precise questions and review the logic of what it delivers. So, there is still some skill involved.

How sad.
So many hours listening to Gordon Lightfoot. So many happy memories.

Wow, the late-night shows were executing a full-on, peg-the-needle gloat session last night.
