My AI Is Bigger Than Your AI
As a kid, if we had an argument with another kid, the argument dissolved into,“My dad is bigger than your dad.” No one ever won these arguments, and theydissipated completely when we saw our dads sipping beers together at the street picnic. Over the last few months, I have heard more news pieces about Artificial…

Investing
The principle of investing is easy. The application, not so much. Let me phrase it a little differently than you will have heard from most financial experts. Financial Expert: Invest an amount (money), it pays more back to you over time. Rephrased: Invest of yourself, the rewards cannot be measured. Exploring a new mountain bike…

Ask Away
I was not the kid that asked a million questions. I was telling my student in class this week that I think the last question I asked during class was 7th grade math class. The teacher was talking about multiplying by a fraction. To this point in time, every problem where I multiplied by a…

Skip To My Lou
I never liked that song. I didn’t know who Lou was, or why it seemed to be a girl. You can find anything on the internet, including things that are the most obscure to even discuss. Is it surprising that an extensive amount of material was found when searching for information about skipping stones? I…

(see above photo) The belief is that once there were people who were trying to sell Florida swampland with that phrase. Then it became a line given to someone…

I coach sports, currently a soccer team. In demonstrating to an individual athlete, I show them a slow motion version of kicking the ball with the instep. I pass my foot in the right position through the ball, gently rolling the ball to the player who stands less than 10 feet away. Then they try…

What Goes Up Must Come Down
I have mentioned that I loved roller coaster through my younger years. I could handle spinning rides that others could not. No, I asked for them. My best ride was the one where everyone stood against the outside wall. When the ride was going fast enough, the bottom would drop out leaving us suspended against…

Sign Me Up!
Supply and demand, one of the basics of economics. When the supply exceeds the demand, it becomes very difficult to survive as a producer. When the demand is greater than the supply, the consumer has a terrible time getting the product and pays a higher price for it. What if money is not involved? Does…

Seen That Before
Sometimes I feel like I have seen everything. Then tomorrow happens. Especially when it comes to people, we simply cannot have seen all that they can do. It is actually a rare occasion that I can say, “Oh I have seen that before, here is what I do.” Those occasions are when something that I…
