Yesterday, we had a strategic planning retreat for 2025-2030 at #MPOW. I presented with my boss to represent the office of #curriculum. The most important thing to note here is that I color coordinated my shoelaces to match #UM colors (orange and green). #gocanes #canes #universityofmiami #MedEd

#AI doom and gloom? What's your take on the (near) and (far) futures of AI and how it will affect humans? www.vox.com/future-perfe...
“AI will kill everyone” is not an argument. It’s a worldview.
How rational is Eliezer Yudkowsky’s prophecy?

Just finished watching the magnificent A Room With a View (1985). I forgot the operatic voice was Kiri Te Kanawa - what an amazing voice.

I got a new phone today. As I was setting up all the apps, I opened MS Authenticator to make sure I can get into all my work accounts. It prompted me to type in a code in itself, which did nothing. It is maddening circular logic and I still can’t get it working.

Living in a #library would be very interesting. Unlike the guy in the article, I would have loved living in one as a kid. I spent hours and hours at my local library. www.atlasobscura.com/articles/gro...

What I want to say to our leadership (and I will and have): so, you want me to come in to the office 5 days a week to close my office door and be in online meetings 8 hours a day. Do I have that right?

I’m sad to read this news. I worked at region 3 based at the University of Illinois at Chicago (as it was called then) for 4 years and made many lasting friendships from the experience.
Sharing this update provided to me directly about the state of NLM and the future of NNLM, traveling exhibits, and, somehow, MedlinePlus.
I am so worried for friends and colleagues, and I'm stuck on that, but it is hard to not want to scream WTF about a MedlinePlus with no new material.

I was happy to hear from my former #MedLib colleagues that the incoming Medical #Library Association President (also a friend of mine!) included a slide in her inaugural address with my photo and said I was a positive influence on her career. Thanks, Madame President Heather Holmes!
