Pope Francis made me comfortable fully returning to the church, family in tow. He was a Catholic visionary who expanded the tent, and for that I am very grateful to him. Rest in peace.

This effort was borne from the thought that runs through my head a lot lately: what can I do to make things a little better? Teaching for free is one way, so that's what I'll do for now. I'd like to take this on the road and do it in community libraries, schools, whatever. We'll see how it goes.

Today was my first Build an App with AI class at the RVC Rec Center. Five boys showed up to wireframe their apps in preparation for building the backend next week. This is the first @nysaic.org official "event" I guess? I loved it, and I didn't have to pay my co-teacher anything because he's my son.

Putting my money where my mouth is. If you live in or around Rockville Centre, this might be of interest. I’m volunteering but they charge a fee to cover the overhead.

So the Limitless pendant is pretty damn cool. Been playing with it for a couple of hours. I do wonder about the ethics of its usage. In a situation where a meeting is being recorded in some other way, no issue. But what about meetings with people taking notes? Is this essentially a stenographer?

The packaging doesn’t exactly elicit excitement, guys. But I’m still excited.

Sometimes, you are aware you're forming a core memory for yourself. Running the streets at 6am with my daughter is one of those times.

I'm obsessed with Limitless's Rewind app, and now the pendant is on its way.

Haven't done a keynote in a few years and was lucky enough to do one for the RTM's Spring Northeast Innovation Forum. The comment cards are so kind that I'm sharing a couple of the quotes.

I've had COVID five times. I have the flu for the first time in six years. I would be absolutely fine with a few more rounds of COVID instead of this.

Today, another ed tech company had a breach. Next week, a few more. The faster we get to biometric identification for everything, the better...until my PS instance needs support and the rep who works with us is out sick, so we ask them to spin up a temp user with privileged access, and...

What am I supposed to do about my kids' data being out there other than shrug? It may already have been out there, and if it wasn't, I live with the assumption that it one day will be. Is this an average person's position at this point? I've spent my adult life working in tech, so maybe it's me.

What did I learn from the PowerSchool breach?
- We ran our Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan, which was a huge help. Most of the steps are obvious if you've been doing this for a while, but it's helpful to have everything in plain text when you're feeling stressed;

We wandered around, hit Bryant Park, then got ourselves back to the warmth of home. The kids are getting older, but we can still get them to do Christmas stuff.
