Trying to keep up with my own output is a bit like trying to drink from a fire hose—while it’s hooked to a rocket ship headed to Mars. Each morning I sit down to write, and by noon, I’ve explored territories in AI some of you might not even know existed. If AI were a jungle, you might find me swinging from vine to vine, machete in hand, carving out paths to new insights. So, join me on this thrilling, sometimes bewildering journey through the digital underbrush. We’ll aim for the sacred temple of Understanding—or at least find a nice clearing to catch our breath.
Buckle up, it’s going to be an enlightening ride!
But don’t worry, I won’t leave you to fend for yourself in the wilds of my wide-range of meandering writings. To help you navigate, below I’ve put together a list of insights from my recent posts. If you’re ready to venture deeper, this curated list will guide you through the multitude of topics we’ve explored together and help you find a subject you ACTUALLY want to read more about. Let’s dive into these distilled nuggets of wisdom, each a stepping stone into the expansive world of AI as seen through my adventuring perspective.

2 ? In Honor of my friend, Les Guessing
Les, known in the real world as Jeff Weakley, passed in early August. We had many humorous conversations - one of which was a request to solve his AI dilemma:

This turned into me producing a whole eBook called "Creative Problem Solving in GenAI Art". The book is freely available as a download - with the key takeaways listed in the post.
3 ? A Review of My Midjourney Book
This was a guest post from Les, written just a week before he passed, regarding my recently released book - "Midjourney : Back to Basics ? Beginner's Guide". Les also posted this review on LinkedIn. Les had texted me on the side -
