I have a lot of examples. I'd love to tell the most recent one but its specific enough to possibly be identified. Instead I'll travel back in time a bit. I was lead infrastructure engineer for middleware at a large retail compan

As someone who read Zen the first time many years ago, the book talks about the joy you get from seeing the world on a motorcycle (or bicycle) over being in a tank like car where you don't fully experience your environment. At its hea

I finally tried it yesterday after using chatgpt for the last few months for help with languages (human and otherwise). Prompt: can you test me to determine what my spanish level is? It gave a very convincing response to the kinds of thin
