Author of “Will AI Take My Job?" Published Science Fiction story teller. AI Chicken Wrangler. Nova Scotia, 🇨🇦 Canada
Today is my 53rd birthday.

I have a lovely family, a cozy home, business is booming, and the animals are happy. Things are good.

I dont remember who said it, “No one ever went broke helping other people achieve their dreams.” But that’s the purpose of my work.

Have a wonderful day, friends!

The education expert I consulted with for my book, "WIll AI Take My Job? 2" expressed, "children don't have the maturity to use it safely."

This is a concern, but I think they overlooked the idea that we can use systems to monitor the AI systems for user behavior and AI responses.

Dear Diary.
It's day 3 of no coffee shop. I hope the renovations are going well as I drink my substandard coffee in my home office.

The only social interaction I've had outside of work and family is talking to the lady at the grocery checkout. She is glad the sun is out. Me too, Wanda. Me too...

Sissiboo Coffee is where I go every morning to write after dropping my daughter at school.

It will be closed for 3-days for renovations. I’m going to have to make an inferior cappuccino and write at home.

Could be a lot worse, of course. Don’t cry for me! I will try to carry on!

I am a supporter of local food banks and you should be too!
🍁
When youth unemployment in Canada was 18% in 1992 and I lived in a 2-bedroom apartment with 7 people, only 3 of us had jobs. The food bank helped until everyone got back on their feet financially. I've since given that back 100x over.

Your favorite Chicken Wrangler / Author went to the 50th Anniversary event of the Rocky Horror Picture Show in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia.

Toast was thrown. Cards were thrown. Party whistles were blown. My newspaper hat held strong.

Front and Back Cover.
Now you can click and look at it as if you were picking it up at your favorite local book store... Which you will be able to as soon as the physical book printing process is completed. But it is available online now and in audiobook on Amazon.

Finally got blocked by someone again for writing a book about the current status and future of #AI in business.

I also talk about drones, robots, self driving and posit that #UBI is needed now, before it’s too late, to protect our workers.

Block me and stick your head in the sand. I dare you.

No one has blocked me for several days now, so here’s a picture of me and the second book I wrote to educate people about #AI, business, and the workplace.

I love it when a few fellow authors hate me for writing about AI more than they like supporting all authors.

Punk isn't dead. It's Disaster Scenes by Codefendants.

Thrash Metal at Tipping Point.

Pop Punk isn't dead, it's just Bowling for Soup.

Many GenX haven't heard new music since they left high school. They're missing a world of new music in "dead" genres.

Baby Metal+Electric Callboy exists, people!

When you get your book in print, it just hits different than the digital version.

I recommend authors set it on the table while they have a warm beverage. You’ll be surprised how often a conversation will pop up about it.

Maybe I’m old and cynical but everyone yelling, “be MORE human and that’s how you win at marketing” is bascially wishful thinking and not advice with any impirical evidence.

They might be right. But they also might not be.

Left, my new book, written in Sissiboo Cafe in Annapolis Royal, NS. To the right, a chrome monster tamed by a few delightful artist/baristas.

Living on a hobby farm with my fam, pets & 51 chickens, I feel grounded in reality while writing about the future of #AI. #Booksky 📚 #auhtorsky

Nearly everyone I talk to is convinced #AI couldn't take their job or replace their business. I'm not so sure and I spent the last 3 years researching this topic.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW.

The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed. I've seen sh*t you wouldn't believe.

Yup, I just wrote the last word of the book with a day to spare! Now the last couple paragraphs are in editing and formatting.

What's weird about it?

Finishing up writing the chapter about #AIPolicy in education, with a personal note about how things were when I was a kid in the 80s. A geeky nerd who was into computers and tech. Guess I haven't changed much.
