I hope all the #moms out there had a great #Mother’s Day. Mine came across the country to hang out with her #grandchildren (and me, I guess ;)) for a long weekend. I made her a handdrawn/written #card for the first time in 30+ years. I think she liked it!
A sign that extreme #political positions dominating #congress will no longer be the norm?
Millions of people visit #GrandCanyon #NationalPark every year. I would guess that less than 1% see it from the Colorado River. I’m lucky enough to be in that 99th percentile as of a couple weeks ago. Pic 1: me at the river after a hike down from the rim. Pic 2: a sign I missed on the way down, but related to on the way up. For the record, I knew what I was getting into.
First day of #spring - #tomatoes started. #gardening
I wonder if @SutroTower saw the lightning today too?
So I just used Google's #Bard #chatbot for the first time. #School and #education are now completely different for our kids. We're going to need to change the ENTIRE system immediately. I just had Bard create a 5 paragraph, cited report about the Great Pyramid -- something that took my 6th grader two weeks to research and write -- and it's perfect. Took 5 minutes for me to figure out how to use and prompt it to get what I was looking for: a way better version of what he will be turning in. The traditional #English and/or #Writing coursework should be considered dead from a functional aptitude perspective. Those subjects should be associated/grouped with #art electives. Take that time in #class and dedicate all of it to teaching them about how the #internet and #ai works.
Sesame slaw, chopped steak, and rice. #food #dinner #delicious
Just watched an attempted smash and grab on a red #tesla in #rockridge #oakland - car alarm went off, thief jumped into this getaway car, which immediately sped away on college ave. 9PM, multiple pedestrians around, don’t leave stuff in your car if you don’t want to deal with a broken window and stolen property.
Who knows what this tool is? #tools #leverage #danger
