Enjoy Piazza IX Aprile, Taormina, Sicily.

Enjoy Palermo today.

AI can totally deliver the value that higher education can deliver.

Just not yet.

Maybe in 2-3 years.

Don't ask AI (Chat GPT 4o) too broad of a question that includes numerical results.
Ask precise questions, but confirm with spot checks.

The AI mixed up $ and volume.

The AI told me the world's wine-grape production was $237b. A recent report said $36b.
But, the report also said that 237 million hectoliters were produced.

Enjoy Capriccioli Beach, Sardinia, today.

Enjoy sunset at Porto de Cervo on the Costa Smeralda, Sardinia tonight.

It is easy to be absurd if you lack shame.

Enjoy Moses in Rome today.

Enjoy Rome today.

A highschool classmate died last weekend. I just found out. Funeral was this morning.
She was way too young.

Went to bed Saturday night and didn't wake up.

We were friends many decades ago. A year ago I was planning a trip back home and we tried to meet up. Schedules didn't align. We promised to try again next time.

Now she's dead.

Look around you today. If you are alive, then BE alive. This is the only moment we have...right now.

And be a good person while doing it.

Good bye Jennifer.😥

Enjoy the Spanish Steps in Rome tonight.

Rome is beautiful and warm today.

But leave it to my wife to plan on visiting 2 cities each on two islands half way around the world with connections and rental cars.

I'll need some sort of talisman to make this all come together.

I think I just finished planning our big vacation. We leave on Thursday morning.

Every hour is planned. I know it will not work out that way, but at least we can get back on track if we want to see certain things.

Lots of driving, too. I made a bunch of personal Google maps and printed them for backup.

There is a LOT of room for improvement and automation in this vacation planning space. I can see great opportunities for AI to make this easier and faster.

If you are so inclined and fortunate, time to order flowers for delivery to your mother for Mother's Day. Those florists can cut off orders if you wait too long.
