I turn 70 this July. I’ve wound down the consulting work that kept me busy for years. My wife, Ulli, and I have a stable home, family, and retirement plan giving me the opportunity to explore new ideas. In recent years I’ve paid attention to my health and developed an exercise program. Golf and photography are still hobbies that I enjoy. I still love computers and computer programming, so learning AI and AI programming is a natural fit for my interests and a wide open area for exploration.
There’s freedom in learning something purely because it interests you, with no client and no deadline. Right now, understanding AI and using it is that thing for me. We’re at the start of a monumental technological revolution and I want to be part of it. I’ve been doing the learning and using AI for coding. One of the primary purposes of this site is to help any one who’s interested, learn what I’ve learned. It should also keep me on track as it forces me to think about how I can explain the choices I make along the way.
There other things going on in my retiree life: family, exercise, golf, photography, reading, and maintaining a house. This is going to be a place to discuss all of them.
There’s no grand plan. I have curiosity and some time. That’s enough to start. I hope some of what I share is useful, or at least entertaining.
