Here’s a new 21st century power move for Pittsburgh:
Ride a Waymo while using Gemini Nano Banana in your Meta Quest.

Yinz gotta try it. So artificial.

Know Your Fascist: Many compare Trump to authoritarians, especially Mussolini and Perón. Like them, he uses populism, nationalism, and media spectacle to rally supporters while attacking institutions. Unlike full fascists, he hasn’t abolished democracy—but critics warn of creeping authoritarianism.

Markets create prosperity, not fairness. Use what we build: take care of all.

💡 Infinite Sum – Collaboration grows us.
📈 Labor Expansion – We can do more.
⚖️ Total Engagement – Level the field.
👨‍👩‍👧 Family Support – Care for every child and parent.
🛡️ Growing Safety – Fear shouldn’t guide us.

Ready?

We’re living in the agentic age, where bold visions drive innovation. As a full-stack developer, I’m inspired by Get Smart. Its tech—shoe phones, the Cone of Silence—offered promise and captured the future. What past idea you love is sparking your next big idea?

Merry Christmas! As we celebrate the birth of a child, we’re reminded of the miracle of creation and how even the artificial reflects our boundless imagination. Let’s embrace seeing the old in new ways this season. What’s a way you’re seeing something old in a new light this year? #Imagination #Hope

Are you above or below the API line? In the Agentic Era, this line divides those who leverage tech to create systems from those dependent on them. Skills, access, and agency define where you stand. Can we bridge the gap and empower more to innovate? Where do you think you reside? #AgenticEra

AI has been my parlor trick, but 2025 is for serious growth. As a full stack developer, I’m diving deeper into AI to build meaningful software. What about you? How are you upskilling next year?

Have you ever felt like something was in your way, but you couldn’t figure out what it was? It’s just there—an undefined presence, blocking the path forward. How do you begin to understand it? What’s in your way?

Success at remote work requires new behaviors. In consulting, where connection is everything, we need to rethink how we collaborate and build relationships. Can spatial computing expand what is possible? How have you connected virtually in a way that felt truly compelling?

Plato: This AI imitates shadows, far from the true Forms.

Aristotle: True, but it can find the golden mean in purpose.

Plato: Without wisdom, it risks excess or leading astray.

Aristotle: Wisdom guides the mean. AI must serve, not rule.

We’re in a Bluesky moment.

AI feels like quicksand—shifting constantly beneath us. Remote work is redefining how we connect. U.S. politics feels dangerous and ominous. And now, my social network is shifting here.

So: what blue sky thinking happens here? What possibilities are on your mind?
