Vibe Coded: AI Who’s Who
Over the weekend I successfully completed my eighth vibe-coded project, and I’m really excited about it! It’s called the “AI Cultural Canon,” and it’s basically a Firebase-powered front-end website for 27 people that arguably comprise a “Who’s Who” list in the world of AI / artificial intelligence. Visitors can read a short bio, see a…

Google Sites Comment Magic
For a long time, I’ve wanted a simple way for my students – in this case, my adult Sunday School class participants—to share comments directly on a webpage I’ve made with Google Sites.

In one sense, it is inspiring to learn someone 80 years old is working…

Wrangling with email contact lists and Christmas card mass mailing options
I have spent at least four hours today (and yes, it IS/WAS Christmas, so this was ostensibly fun/vacation time) wrangling with my email contacts in my address book(s) and searching for a cost effective (read “hopefully free”) option to send out several hundred Christmas cards by email. This has been a rather tedious process, but…

Helping Mom Move to Google Docs
Back in March, I recorded and shared an interview with my mother in which she discussed her experiences reading a variety of different blogs over the past few years: Powerful and Meaningful Connections from Blogging International Students, MilBloggers, and Others (An interview with Angie Fryer.) At that time, I also introduced her to social bookmarking…

Joel Meyerowitz: Into the Light
My notes from the MacWorld 2007 feature presentation by Joel Meyerowitz. If you make a big leap in your artistic work, you often discover new potentials that are unexpected and were unanticipated – for me this change was switching The French call this time between the dog and the wolf, the tame from the savage,…
