Notes
Building Decentralized Applications
Should I care about DAPPS? How do Decentralized Applications (DAPPS) relate to my business? I had some great questions and input on the last Brainstorm by Branden. Business leaders from all verticals are really interested in the future of the web and the opportunities ahead.
Non-digital Experiments
By no means do I consider myself an "artist", but I do enjoy the challenge of completing a non-digital project. I paint abstract landscapes and consider myself an amateur remedial Neo-Surreal Abstract Landscape Artist. Gallery »
Jean-Michel Inspiration
An artist who rose to success during the 1980s as part of the Neo-expressionism movement and still a major inspiration. Stumbled upon this fine JMB website with awesome parallax movements and animations. Enjoy »
Web3 Got You Down?
You're confused, lost, and downright exhausted hearing about Crypto, NFTs, and The Blockchain. I get it. Unfortunately, I feel the pain of the overwhelming hype of the next iteration of the internet. Don't be jadded, Web3 is not Web 2.0. An archive Forbes article I discovered in my saved bookmarks does I great job of simplifying things.
Weather Happiness Index
Is happiness based on your location and weather conditions? I decided to spend a Sunday afternoon and put together a quick algorithm to see if the weather determined my mood. Check out my repo on GitHub.
Golden Kitty Awards 2021
Product Hunt's Golden Kitty Awards has become a yearly tradition of mine and an overwhelming deep-dive into the great, the inspirational, and ludicrous. Of course, there are the occasional head scratching moments in analyzing the crazy ideas folks try to bring to market.

Wittgenstein Wisdom
"When we can't think for ourselves, we can always quote" Wittgenstein. "We learn by rearranging what we know."
State of AI (& ML)
Thoughtful relatable concepts in revisiting ZDNet's 2021 State of AI article. "Cascading Datasets", first identified by Google, have been a pain pinpoint experienced in my 2021 client developmental projects. Remember it's no one mechanism's fault, it's all about legitimate data and the logical lifecycle of project application development.

Father of the iPod
Yes, Tony Fadell is publishing a book! Set to release in May 2022, Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making, will hopefully provide some insights into the development of the iPod. I’m primarily looking forward to his experiences in symbiotically managing a group of hardware and software designers.
Nathan Bell X Nike Running
Even in 2021, I'm still inspired by the gritty thoughtful text based design philosophy and implementation of Nathan Bell on seemingly under the radar high-tech performance running gear from Nike Running.
TensorFlow for Machine Learning
Ran across an informative video on how to setup TensorFlow and Miniforge for deep learning with TensorFlow. Once again, Youtube for the win!
Familiar Tech Adoption Roadblock
Although only 16 percent of Americans say they invested, traded, or used cryptocurrency, almost 90 percent have heard about it, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey.
