Woke up late, so went to the office first. It has FAST internet! Uploaded a bunch of videos. More snow!How many times did you post to TikTok today, Steve? NONE! Working on a workflow to generate images from prompts derived from my transcripts.New Canada-China deal! Chinese EVs coming to Canada! Which ones? Only 49,000 per year??? NOT in Winnipeg! But canola oil remains out of China (is this why Hawkins Cheezies can’t get in?)Workouts in! (Tried out the sled push/pull machine.)OMG, how do you learn all these things? DaVinci Resolve? Replit? Youtube? TikTok Advertising? On life, learning and the continuance thereof. All great and good to think “let’s learn this, let’s learn that!” And everything seems so urgent and fast. But how much can you actually learn and deploy?Donate to the show!
