Evie Day 614
Good morning, and a happy Taco Tuesday to you all. Today is 19 November 2024.
Yesterday was a day of meetings and prep work, including reviewing the content I’ll be covering in my one-day AI workshop. It’s a little sad for me, as the internal guy who set up and scheduled the class is a friend, and he was recently let go from the mothership. I’ll send some positive thoughts his way while I’m delivering.
I’m not sure if I mentioned it yesterday day or not. I am back in my virtual classroom today, walking folks through some tools for improving productivity thanks to artificial intelligence. It’s a neat little workshop, and this is the fourth (?) one of these I have had this year. It’s an enjoyable course, introducing folks to some new ideas on how they can use AI to improve their work and, sometimes, their personal lives.
I tried something last night for fun. Lisa and I were watching “Chopped” reruns, and I decided to open up my AI tool at the beginning of the round. I took note of the four basket ingredients and then asked the AI to generate a recipe that had to include them, and the AI could add any other ingredient to the recipe.
I don’t think the AI will be competing on “Chopped” anytime soon.
My task list today – breakfast and coffee, AI workshop, taking care of the necessary tacos for dinner, working on my report for my manager, and watching some Kansas basketball – The University of North Carolina-Wilmington Seahawks are coming to town. Sometimes these smaller, lesser-known schools give me a little anxiety during the early part of the season. There is always one or two teams that really give the Jayhawks a test on an off night.
Time for me to fill the water tank and grind some beans for the Ninja coffee maker.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
