A possible knock-on enabler effect might also boost demand for all kinds in f produces and services. For years, I’ve procrastinated about getting an updated Will, power of attorney, etc. ChatGPT has made the process easy to organize and to take the steps needed to engage an attorney and get it done.

consider a Peace Corps assignment. Besides the standard 27 month option, there are shorter term options in host countries and there are virtual volunteer positions where you serve from wherever you are. www.PeaceCorps.gov

“because we found it randomly” reveals the importance of mindset. So much of the travel experience (hell, life itself!) is influenced by a positive attitude and openness to really see what is around us.

Fascinating idea! So wish I had parents and grands around so I could record all the old family stories that were told over the years. If you readers take no other action after reading this post, start recording your own oral history/stories; yours, parents, kids, friends, etc.

The new Tech Corps invites engineers, data scientists, and technically minded builders to serve alongside partner countries working to responsibly adopt and deploy AI tools. Think less “teach Scratch in a classroom,” more “help ministries, universities, and startups translate AI potential into practical systems.” If you’ve ever wanted to ship something that matters outside the App Store, this is a chance to put your stack to work in the real world.

Interesting analysis. If you’re into efficient operations, consider making coffee at home/office and either make your own banana bread (easy and far tastier!) or skip it!

In 1999, Jobs received an award from the Silicon Valley Alum of Harvard Business School for his Pixar work. In his thank you remarks, he said he had no illusions about there being many people who’d be booting up their Power Mac G4 in 50 years but he was dead certain that millions would still be watching Toy Story. Twenty five years in, his prediction holds.

I was a Lotus Agenda heavy user and remember when app this came out. It is very similar to the beta of what was internally called “Hobbs” (yes that Hobbs) that I test-drove at their Boston HQ. I stuck with Agenda.
