I've been a fan of Dave Davies of the Kinks and novelist Paul Auster for a long time now ... but it wasn't until I mentioned Mr. A (RIP) in an interview about the Kinks fan book that a fan pointed out they were born ON THE EXACT SAME DAY (2/3/47). That's at least a 9 on the Auster coincidence scale.

The legend, Rod Serling, was born 100 years ago today. An inspiration to writers and thinking people everywhere. There’s a reason why we still watch “The Twilight Zone” and other work, because they still resonate with our common humanity - for better and worse.

"On Nov. 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence. … With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his childhood friend, Oscar Madison. … Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?”
Happy "Odd Couple" Day to all who celebrate!

Thrilled to report I've written the cover story for the relaunched Binghamton University research magazine. Talked to professors around campus to learn about AI and its effects on the workplace.
You can leaf through the magazine here. Lots of great work from colleagues.
