Every builder's first duty is philosophical: to decide what they should build for. AI is beginning to decide what ideas reach your mind—your next action, your next job, your next relationship. It will tempt you to outsource your thinking in ways you’ve never been tempted before.…

An interesting read for others that believe in the importance of a thriving and healthy public library system as I do. The issues facing libraries very likely are symptomatic of a failure of important public healthcare needs that are not being met. Those issues need to be…

Conversational AI like @GeminiApp while in the middle of a course text is an incredible way to accelerate learning. If you're like me and lament when an author stops short of diving deep enough into a concept to have an intuitive grasp of it, the immediate opportunity for a…

How on earth is @CBC allowed to charge the public $5.99/mo if they want to access News Network. Each of us already have to pay them every year without any choice in the matter. We therefore shouldn't be barred from accessing ANYTHING they produce on our dime.

The proliferation of AI Slop should be a reminder that there's a role for traditional, human-curated media in an online world.

Would love for @iHeartRadioCA to open up some more of the on demand music features in Canada. Even just the playlist feature would be nice.

Today marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe against Nazi forces. We remember the brave Canadians who brought democracy back to Europe from the frontline soldiers to the support elements.

Would you consider donating even a small amount to support these incredibly worthwhile Scouting initiatives in Kenya? I had an opportunity to visit some of the impacted groups last November, and our support made a huge difference to the sustainability of their Scout programs and…

Tried switching back to #Gemini after huge price increase for renewal of @X premium+. It's astounding how terrible it is in comparison. Can't ask any questions even remotely adjacent to politics in any way without it refusing to answer me.

I'm really struggling to see the value proposition of @NotionHQ's evolving suite. Take the most basic use case that Notion seems well-suited to (contact database). Not possible to use that as your contacts source in Notion Mail? Not sure a Gmail wrapper was the best approach for…

Remember when the HTML5 video player on @YouTube was an "experiment" over the default Flash-based player? Am I dating myself?

Has @Google @GeminiApp realized their oversight in not building GeminiApp dedicated service for Google Apps Script yet? Would make the consumer "Gemini Advanced" subscription infinitely more compelling than it is at present.
