Positive thoughts?
I came across two older items last week that really made me feel good about Artificial Intelligence and some of the good aspects and possibilities.

AI to the rescue? Categories and Tags in WordPress

First AI post
I was all excited to write my first blog post about the subject of Artificial Intelligence (not that any intelligence is conveyed in the post, I'm just trying to get some structure established) that I called the post "First AI Post" which I subsequently concluded is a...
Contact page on the home screen, SuperPWA FTW
Years have gone by since I've updated this blog. But, no time like the present to change that. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step or something like that. I thought I would outline yesterday's research project. A prospective customer with a...
