seasons always change


For the past few weeks I've been head-down, working hard on three areas of my AI journey:

1) Getting the Hollywood product ready for sale into the agencies and studios out there

2) Doing client work to pay the bills

3) Recruiting a team and getting my new business off the ground

I won't get into all the details - I'll just say that everything is going well, and at this rate I expect to be able to tell you about the beta trial of the new business in December. I really think you'll like it :)

I don't have much else to say right now, but I wouldn't mind listening this week. Feel free to respond to this and tell me what's going on in your life. I haven't interacted much outside of my cave this month, so tell me about your world!

I leave you with the last vestige of autumn at the park by my house. Have a great week, friends . . .

It's almost here! Over the past couple months I've been designing a suite of AI-powered tools that can give superpowers to small teams of regular people. The full details are kind of a secret until January, which will be the official launch. But in the meantime, I'm looking for 10 beta testers to put into my system starting in December. These folks will get free access to everything I'm building for a month or so. You can use everything, break everything, and then tell me where my stuff is...

Over the weekend I did my annual graveyard walk, this time stopping by to visit my friend who recently passed, instead of walking it with him. A sad time, certainly, but not without its bittersweet moments. In fact, I noticed that there's an open slot in the bookshelf above his book of ashes in the mausoleum library. I've never made any plans for my body after I die, so maybe I'll buy that slot and have it all taken care of so my kids don't have to. I'll think about it. my favorite photo from...

Every October for nearly 20 years, my buddy Chris Damico and I would do our annual graveyard walk. We’d choose a cemetery somewhere in Milwaukee, get breakfast nearby, and then spend a couple hours slowly winding our way through the grounds. Both of us professional writers and amateur photographers, we enjoyed taking pictures and telling stories about all the lives we came across. Usually the days were sunny and brisk, with beautiful fall colors exploding all around, but winter comes early in...
