Rant: I was really trying to come around to practical AI-assisted technology where it helped people accomplish a job they needed to do . . . then last night happened and this Asheville-local put me back into Camp Doomer.
A nice reminder of two things I teach during almost all my @poynterinstitute.bsky.social trainings: - You cannot do more with less, you do less with less. - You are a limited resource. Don't let short-sighted decisions rob you of your valuable time and energy.

We bought our house sight unseen, but there were no dead bodies in it . . . at least not when we bought it. A previous owner did die in it from what we hear from neighbors. apple.news/ALJZ9Hv1wSwy...

I have a 2002 4Runner, 2013 GTI and a 2014 motorcycle and LOVE cars, but can't imagine ever buying a new one. Prices are simply jaw-droopingly stupid. The 4Runner is a Ship of Theseus situation. It will eventually be a new car with the work I put into it. apple.news/A4UujMC80Q6G...

What's the over/under no how long it takes for someone to be fired for a leaked group chat? Next week? Tomorrow?

If ChatGPT and Visa want to start delivering vintage BMW 635CSIs and parts to my door that's fine. It will have to use someone else's bank account, but I find this an acceptable use case.

Almost two years and I still can't publicly speak to public radio stations without mentioning what @blueridgepublic.bsky.social meant to Asheville during Helene without tearing up. It was such a delight to work with Reno's KUNR this week and lead their retreat.
Led some project training and got this review "Tony has a talent for translating managerial lingo/structures into digestible words and models. " That is a far cry from how I started out 15 years ago. Just do these 2 things. - Explain acronyms to people - Speak like a human, not a tech bro
