Blogging’s hidden blessing, spirit

Daily, prolific blogging can eventually feel like a monkey on your back. Hopefully it’s Curious George, or Chapin.

Cheryl eating our signature peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwich. We used our bicycle panniers as our sandwich preparation countertop. On our honeymoon, bicycling through the Puget Sound before biking across Washington State. Blogging allows me the blessing of sharing what i want, when i want, in the way i want. Blogging allows me to do this prolifically too.

Began Blogging In 2nd Grade. Guess who started him on this path.

Dear Son, to me, blogging’s hidden blessing is its love for the writer.

Dear Son, loving yourself first teaches you how to love others.

Dear Son, teaching yourself first teaches you how to teach others.

Dear Son, forgiving yourself first teaches you how to forgive others.

Dear Son, being patient with yourself first teaches you how to be patient with others.

Dear Son, caring for your emotional health first, well, it teaches you how to care for others.

Dear Son, serving yourself first teaches you how to serve others.

i love Apple Notes

i love Apple Notes.

My iPhone is always with me.

And my backup iPhone is never far away.

Apple Notes allows for anytime, anywhere productivity to record or write ideas as they come. Whether a new idea or an additional idea on an existing idea.

Apple Notes allows me to scan and save documents, record and store videos, take and store photos, use voice dictation, and even forward any note to anyone, for any reason. Notes also helps me create game plans for trips, speeches, client calls, home organization records,, etc. Literally anything.

It’s like always have in your pocket a pen and paper, a camera, a scanner, and portable fax (remember those?).

Apple Notes is indispensable.

i love book publishing

i love book publishing.

Why.

Because a book is something anyone can build (write).

Publishing is a way to “go on the record” that these are my thoughts.

Creative challenges (and opportunities) call for over-focused, and brilliantly simple, thinking.

Screenshot of AI summary
Alan asked X’s (formerly Twitter) AI platform, Grok 3, Beta, one simple question. It’s unclear how many of my 30k tweets were used in the top line summary.

Been wondering for some time now if AI and WordPress will be remarkably compatible.

If so, i’m literally trembling with an effortless way to summarize my five blogs.

And not only that, but how many ways could each blog website be summarized. It almost feels infinite.
