It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

Inspired by some Ottawa cargo bike friends, and having to drag our kids bikes to camp all week with bungee cords, I made a thing. Clamps on to the Burley Flatbed.

Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done.
I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

One of my favorite livestreaming aviation channels, Chicago Flights, just released a curated video of downtown Chicago drone footage.
I have no idea how he got drone flight approvals for such a complicated airspace, but the end product was worth it.

I always says JIRA is what happens when you say “yes” to every feature request.
I'm reminded of this quote: "Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.” — Steve Jobs
