All Confusion Matters

This is something I ve recently come to articulate. When presenting ideas to our colleagues, friends, or even potential customers, it s easy to get frustrated when someone just doesn t get it. I mean, what s wrong with them? The value of our idea is obvious, right? If they don t get it that s on them. We re just a [ ]

Practical AI

A lot of time with AI is spent thinking about its potential. We imagine what it might be able to do, how it could work, what we could accomplish. But for those of us that have been using (and wrestling with) AI in its practical usage for years now, it becomes apparent that there s the [ ]

Truly Motherly

Being truly motherly means more than merely being a mom. In fact, everyone is able to extend motherly love in a deep and meaningful way.

Connecting in Narratives

Years ago my wife and I were in the Detroit airport getting ready to board a plain to Florida to catch a cruise to the Caribbean. We found our terminal, bought some water, and did our usual pre-flight rituals. Then, the announcement from Jet Blue: There is a problem with the plane which will not [ ]

Upon Whimsical Wings

One time I sat afoot from the mossy cliff, my thoughts adrift and body stiff, I gazed upon strange and beautiful things: A tiny flock of birds upon whimsical wings

I like the phrase healthy team and define a healthy team as: Healthy people in healthy relationships doing amazing work I ve never met anyone that really disagreed with this idea. The big question is how do you cultivate such a team? I m going to try and [ ]

WordPress Interactivity API: A Noble Attempt

Back in the day The first ever WordPress site I built on was in 2010. It was just before WordPress 3.0 came out. I d never worked in PHP before, but had experience working in other languages. I heard WordPress was a great way to build a website, and armed with $30 one could get a [ ]

User Interactivity Begins in the Server

Having WordPress support the WinterCG project would not only improve the developer and end-user experience of WordPress, but help take the Internet to the next level. This is my thesis, which I would like to make a case for. A (very) brief history of the web I would like to start by talking about the [ ]
