I’m a facilitator of creative ignition.
I enjoy helping others explore, learn, and create by designing systems, sharing insights, and curating tools that spark personal growth.
Okay, real talk. Is anyone else's experience with MacOS 26's Spotlight really awful? I really only need the most basic launcher, so I was excited to replace Raycast with something native, but damn. Am I doing something wrong?

These new iOS 26 backgrounds in messages are honestly so great. But why, WHY, would you make it so it changes it for everyone in the text thread, including 1:1 messages?!

Ever LinkedIn so hard you start low-key doxing a recruiter, rehearsing how you’d explain it’s not “stalking” but rather “showing initiative”? Yeah, me neither.

The job market feels like LLMs talking to other LLMs through ATS filters, so I’m trying a more human approach.

Exploring new roles in L&D, enablement, or employee experience. Open to leads, conversations, unexpected connections, or even just a "hello"!

I wonder how much money OpenAI could save if ChatGPT actually respected my rules about not using em dashes.

There must be something in the air. I recently wrote a piece on my blog about hiring the curious learner instead of the expert.

This latest post from @martinfowler.com serves to further bolster that point.

@seattlewxguy.bsky.social Just wanted to let you know there’s some bass-heavy thumping in your latest video (06/13). Maybe a nearby hammer? It might be useful to add a low-cut filter (EQ) to your OBS mic setup. If you need any help getting that set up, give me a holler. Keep up the great work!

Always looking for ways to use an LLM to work smarter.
For a recent project, I used ChatGPT to help turn gut reactions to UI inspiration into a draft design brief.

Full breakdown: mattgordon.pro/blog/tpost/x...

Tried anything novel with AI? Share below!

Wouldn't it be cool if @obsidian.md had a dedicated exploration mode—not for writing, but for discovering? A space to surface hidden connections, trends in metadata (like when or where notes are made), and just wander through your vault with curiosity.

Hi @stephango.com - I reached out on LinkedIn, but wanted to share here too. I’m a long time Obsidian user with an L&D background(incl. an award-winning leadership program). I would love to chat or grab a virtual coffee to explore how I might support the team or community. Cheers!

I can’t be the only one who would like to search BlueSky based on location. Would love to see which communities are interacting locally that I could join!
