It has been quite a while since I started this site. The forces in the world of technology have shifted. There is now simply no denying what AI is and what impact it is having, and will have, on everything. Almost a year ago now I [hard] pivoted to AI from Quantum Computing. I've been in IT almost 40 years and I have never seen the winds of change blow this hard. So most of this introduction post is about quantum computing. But going froward, this is going to be pretty

I'm going to be lazy and just slap you-know-who's summary of the work I (we) did together on this project here. I learned a lot and am going to take a stab at doing something more complicated next - and do it "from scratch" in Python as opposed to using n8n.

Because I had to spend a lot of time troubleshooting a Chroma ( Chroma is an open-source vector database for AI applications) on Windows 11, this project took longer that it should have. If you want t

With the seemingly unstoppable momentum that AI has here in early 2025, I decided to expand and go beyond relying on just OpenAI's o1...

Now here is something interesting - at least it was to me. Back when I was in school, we learned that matter had three states it could...

If you should stumble upon this page before I write the "Introductory" blog entry for this blog, my apologies for the lack of context. I just started typing. Introduction with purpose and resources coming soon. Turns out, pretty hard :) In all seriousness, I understood most of it but was fuzzy on how the alpha-a term and beta-b term was being used - what they exactly represented. Like always, I turn to ChatGPT 4.0 for things like this. Its simply the quickest way to get
