Blogging like its 2009 ~ Innovating with AI Like It's 2029
Hello, I'm Kevin. Welcome to my site. I wear many hats: devoted husband of 33+ years, loving father of 32 years, and ecstatic grandfather for over 5 years. That's roughly 600,000 hours in these roles—give or take, depending on leap years and when you're reading this. Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" suggests it takes 10,000 hours to master a field. By that logic, I'd be a master husband and father many times over. Yet, despite my 300,000-ish hours in each role, I'm still learning. Some might say I'm perpetually on probation!
While I'll share adventures from these roles—offering advice, occasional cries for help, and opportunities for laughter or tears—my experiences extend beyond family life. I've spent 40 years in IT, lived across the US, and maintained various hobbies. I'll also recount some significant blunders—you know, for educational purposes. Now, I'm embarking on an exciting new chapter: AI development. I recently obtained an AI development certification from MindStudio, marking the beginning of a fascinating journey into this cutting-edge field. I'm eager to share my AI projects, insights, and the challenges of transitioning from traditional IT to the world of artificial intelligence. This new endeavor is not just a hobby—it's a passion that's rekindling my love for technology in ways I never imagined.
Throughout this site, you'll find a blend of life stories, tech insights, and my evolving perspective as I navigate the AI landscape. I aim to play the fool as defined by Ethan Hawke in his excellent TED Talk on creativity—embracing curiosity and continuous learning, especially in this rapidly evolving field of AI.
I'm here to share, learn, and grow. Whether it's family anecdotes or the latest in AI developments, I hope you'll find something intriguing. Anything else you'd like to know? Just ask. Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy exploring my site!
