Learning A Bit

  • PicClip

    PicClip is another app I, and AI, put together. I created this because EasyCrop (a Mac app from YellowMug) is no longer available, nor will it work after the next update to MacOS because it is Intel based. YellowMug does not have a newer version. Yes, there are a multitude of (paid) options to choose…

  • Seespan

    Today I uploaded a “complete” Seespan to my Github repo. It is a chrome extension for C-SPAN that checks its captions to see who is speaking. The pop-up displays latest contributions, hight dollar trades and seats they sit on. To be clear, Seespan is not declaring that there are any illegal activities going on. Just…

  • Results From The AI Summit With Friends

    Recently, a few friends and I got together for a few days to learn from our resident AI whisperer. I had been playing with AI for a bit, but this was a little more “formal”. I won’t bore you with all the details, but this was one of the biggest takeaways -> I created a…

  • Not all LLM are created equal

    Over the holidays, while I was slacking from doing important computer work, I ended up at a casino. While there, I won a few bucks on my favorite game, roulette. Upon returning home, I looked for a roulette app, and there are plenty! But they have the “to play, I have to pay or give…

  • Another Busy Week…

    It has been another busy week. For AI in general, and for myself. On Tuesday, OpenAI had its keynote. And did they announce some stuff! Now on to what’s important! It is time I actively look for a new job. In an effort to keep a semblance of privacy, I am setting up a local…

  • Something From “Early” AI

    This is a little something that was getting started for work, but progress has stalled. It appears they are going to use a different implementation. (I am not giving away any work details here…) Essentially, it is an AI based web page that utilizes a local LLM. The main idea was to upload information, and…

  • More on AI…

    While I have yet to take an actual COURSE on how to do prompt engineering, but I have read some documentation. For me, this is progress. I prefer to jump in and see if I can figure things out, especially if it is consumer facing. Also, I have asked ChatGPT and Claude to assist me…

  • AI is a lot…

    I’ve been playing with AI a bit… it can build a life size sand castle with a drawbridge and a moat, or it can be a kid drawing figures in the sand with a stick. AI is an amazing tool, but a tool that needs to be monitored. At least it did not delete my…

  • An AI engineered prompt

    Although I have not been updating this blog, or my Github as I intended, that does not mean I have not been learning. I have always been better at organizing other people’s stuff than my own! For example, at work I hooked up OpenAI’s API to our contact form to automatically catch spam before it…

  • Welcome to 2025

    “Welcome” might be a bit strong. It implies a greeting at the door—but at this point, 2025 has already unpacked and made itself comfortable. It’s more like, “You’ve been here a while and had a look around—how do you like the place?” It’s been way too long since my last post. Life’s been busy—building a house, moving a…
