Howdy Reader! A friend from church pays the $20/month for ChatGPT Plus. He uses it all the time for stock analysis and a host of other things. When we chatted, I wasn't using it a whole lot. Even now, I use it infrequently. I told him at the time: "I should use it more. I don't want to be a dinosaur." So I'm at least thinking of new things to try with ChatGPT. One experiment I ran was cataloging a bookshelf. I took one picture of a couple of shelves. I fed the picture to ChatGPT. It not only cataloged most of the books it saw. It guess pretty well at a third shelf that didn't quite fit into the picture. It told me what my interests were based on the collection. It wasn't perfect, but it got me 80% of the way there in under a minute. My jaw drops each time I try something with it. Applying this kind of tool for content creation, without losing one's voice ... ... is where the future is headed, whether we like it or not.

Howdy Reader! Tonight I listed ten catalogs on eBay from start to finish. Earlier in the day I wrote the task in my notebook. Almost as an afterthought, I said that it would take about an hour to do this. I honestly had no idea. I got the work done -- taking the pictures, editing the pictures, and putting everything in listings -- in a little over an hour. This is something I haven't done in a while: Estimate how long a task will take. As I was doing it, I was looking at the clock to see how...
Howdy Reader! My newsletter client sent me a link to sign up for a Wise account. It's a payment processor that he uses in his business, and he loves it. Here's the link if you want to check it out. I had a lot of things to get together to sign up for it. It took the better part of an hour because I hadn't organized things well. I still may not have everything I need, and will need to call the IRS to get a document. Disorganization costs time, and money. (I wrote about this quite a while ago...
Howdy Reader! I had a choice of activities today. One was a picnic with my colleagues. The other was a once-a-year art and wine festival that my wife and I have attended several years in a row. It was unfortunate scheduling, but I had to choose. What won out was who I'd see there. I spend a quarter of my week with my colleagues. Most of the interactions aren't friendship, really. I'm showing professional tolerance. I'm polite, they're polite, but they're mostly in it for themselves. It wasn't...
