2024 was a exhausting but a good year. Professionally, it was one of my more exciting years. Here’s a favorite photo with some magical former coworkers/forever friends, at the annual meeting of my favorite organization

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right? Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.
