So in preparation for the release of my new single, "Free Comprehension Insights," I've been getting these strange phone calls from this yellow mystery phone. Check out the video here. The signals are not at all easy to interpret, but who can deny the trees? "Free Comprehension Insights" will be available on all platforms on August 4th. You should follow me and listen on Spotify!

I saw this (as I'm trying to update things for a new song I'm releasing): All I want to do is a quick update for people who follow my artist page on facebook, but in order for me to do so, I have to confirm my identity by using the facebook app on my phone? I don't want facebook on my phone. It slows my phone down and eats up my battery. Am I being an old person here or is this weird that I have to use facebook on my phone in order to post from my desktop? Is this the new ver

So I read Matt Schumer's Letter to Loved Ones about AI being a bigger thing than we realize in the same way that COVID was a big thing before we realized. We actually just had this conversation in our science department. I remember vividly telling people that there was no way that we would be canceling our son, Jett's, birthday party, but before we knew it, we were isolating. Schumer's main idea is to learn to use AI now while there's still time, and not the free version, th

One of the things I struggle with most as a teacher right now is spotting AI. It seems to be everywhere and students are either so good at using it I don't know what their actual writing voice sounds like or so terrible at using it that I have to call them out on it (either through a call home or a discussion with admin). It's a huge pain in the neck. I've started to notice similar patterns in news articles I read and recent reports seem to indicate that it's being used in sc

Happy Valentines day! May you never feel the need to buy stuff in order to prove your love is real! I hope your day is filled with people that make your heart sing. I had originally hoped that today I would be sharing a new poem/song I made called Bathing in Sand. But, alas, a delivery error persists with Spotify. If you use a different platform besides Spotify for music, you probably can hear it because all the other platforms had no problem receiving my song and art work. M

I am not a marketing guru. I don't know much about SEO or putting together a marketing plan. I basically never go on social media (because all it does is make me wish I could easily hang out with all my old friends). I'm not interested in spending time crafting posts and sharing images and getting likes and followers and generating interest in products. So having an AI agent help me in these processes for which I am not an expert seemed extremely appealing. Full disclosure: I
