April 11, 2025: My Eyes Are Up Here

I was at a big, fancy trade convention this week. I always say that’s a chance for men to get to feel what it’s like to be a woman in the world, if only one small part of it.

Invariably, everyone will eventually try to subtly glance down at the name badge on your chest, sometimes letting their gaze linger longer than they should…

April 10, 2025: AIiiiight

I've mentioned my company is leaning pretty hard into a particular teamwork based AI system. I don't think I'll ever use it for writing or the like, but there are sooooo many new technical terms I keep coming across as we deal with a wide variety of industries, products, and processes.

I will admit it has been useful for giving me a quick summary of these things so I can keep going through the email, etc. without having to stumble around for an explanation. Obviously I don't trust it 100%, but I think in my case, since the answers are so cut and dry, it does a decent job with brief summarizations.

April 10, 2025: Open World

In a hotel on a recent bidness trip, I was watching The Terminator as it was the only semi-interesting thing that was on (and hadn't seen it for awhile; it was on HBO, so the whole picture). Anyway, it reminded me there was a computer game based on this I used to play. It was basically an open world concept where you could play Reese or the Terminator. As I was watching, I was wondering if it was one of the first open world games out there (I was playing it several years after it was released). Is that true? It would take three seconds to Goggle, but I need content here, so yeah?
