This is a place to read my thoughts, that are translated into text. That's why it's called, RexText :) Thanks for stopping by. This thing is so simple,...
I almost want to start another blog. Mostly because I have 10 free ones on this platform, but also it could be a way to separate different types of writing or different purposes of writing. I've been trying to think of a unique purpose for another blog, like a way to document certain things or make certain writing available. I still feel like this is a great, secure space, because no one will find…
I've been learning AI. Playing with artifacts in Claude and using different RAGs with certain people's work inserted. Plus, playing with Seth Godin's Mentor Deck of cards with QR codes to have a conversation with famous authors or influencerts. So, I had an epiphany. If someone kept a journal, say like on 750words.com, and maybe they had a blog that they posted in often, and maybe they wrote some…
Wow, did I really neglect this blog! I can't believe how long it has been since my last post. And here I go again talking about the time between posts. It's one of my habits. Along with the habit of doing something for a while then not. Well, at least I keep starting over and doing something. And yes, I do have a new thing I'm doing. I'm really focused on getting the course I made years ago out…
Life is a cycle. Farming or gardening teaches us this principle. There is a time to plant, a time to harvest, and a time to prepare the soil for planting. I happen to be in that last cycle for my massive garden area right now. And I'm trying something different that I've never done before so we'll see if it works. Gardening always involves some kind of experiment for me, whether it's some new…
So much for posting every day. Did I say I was going to do that? No. Okay then, nobody cares. I just kind of hoped I would do it. No plan. No commitment. This is what happens when you just kind of think it might be a good idea. It doesn't happen. But here's an idea, what if I keep trying? I'll post more than usual. That's my new plan. Probably not the best, but better than the old one. I may not…
This is the first day of a new year. I know it happens every year, but this one is special. Because it is happening today! And because it's the first day of the year and the rest of your life! Nothing is better than another day to experience life. That's today! Thanks for being here.
Change is coming. I can feel it. Of course, there are situations in my corporate life that are significant, worldwide changes that will affect me. So, yeah, it's a bit obvious. But as I write this, the thought occurred to me, isn't there always change coming? Isn't that the definition of life? Every day is a new breath, a new thought, different things to experience. As soon as there is absolutely…
So much for consistency. Nevermind the dates. This is just another post. There is always a lot to learn. Every day we get exposed to stimuli that we can choose to learn from or be the victim of. But choosing is hard. Most of us do what happens to us. We're not cognizant that we are making a choice, we are just reacting per our natural tendencies. The more we can realize that we are making a choice…
See what happens? I forget a day, then the next day is easier, then I forget the whole thing. Well, I have been pretty busy, or just totally tapped out every day because I'm running Camp Uncle Rex with Jet. We go swimming and a bike ride almost every day, so I'm pretty exhausted by the time I head to bed, and that's when I might have time to do this, but I'm usually too tired. I call it in for my…
Write as if no one is reading it. That's the only way to get words down on the page. If I think too much and want it to be perfect, or even good, then I'll hesitate. And when I hesitate at night, when I'm super tired, I don't do much. Mostly fall asleep. And that doesn't produce. But I'm a creator, producer. I make things. I made this because I didn't care who was reading it. I just started.…
