💭If it's not simple, it's not smart. When asking "What's the next big thing?" It's taking what exists today, making sure that it's simple & that it works!

The thrill of getting is fleeting. The joy of giving lasts.

Data: happiness fades quickly when we buy gifts for ourselves, but sustains when we give gifts to others or donate to charity.

Giving is the greatest source of meaning.

Mount St. Helens erupts in 1980.

Steve Firth, a friend of the man who took this photo had the following to say:

“...That Pinto and dirt bike belonged to a good friend of mine and when he stopped to turn around, he took this picture.

He told me that there was lightning bolts shooting out of the smoke but he didn’t have the right filter on his camera to capture them at that moment. The picture could have been even more amazing. It was used on the TV news and used to be on the cover of Mt. St. Helens brochure at the Johnston Observatory / visitor center.

He gave me an original 8×10 copy of it although it looked like he was a good distance away from the blast, he barely made it out of there alive.

Had the blast came more in his direction he would have died in seconds. Sometime later he returned and photographed a burned-out pickup with a horse trailer attached to it. He told me he had talked to them that day and said they never made it out.

He is a freelance photographer so he took some amazing pictures of the aftermath as well. Anyhow, I thought I’d let you know a bit more about that fabulous picture."

🏨#WFH is starting to mean Work From Hotel - are hotels making a semi-private space that guests can utilize for work a priority?

Hotel guests say they want to watch a favorite channel or watch a favorite streaming service. This outweighs temperature or voice control. High guest satisfaction requires both robust live TV and streaming options. - Kim Twiggs #SmartSpaces23 @ParksAssociates

As a society we will have to reduce our emissions and sequester carbon emissions. All of the industries and people are going to have to make some significant changes to the way they relate to and consume energy. It is going to require all of us to work in concert. #SmartEnergy23

The Pale Blue Dot is an iconic photograph of Earth captured by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990. Taken from a distance of around 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as Voyager 1 was departing our solar system, the image portrays Earth as a tiny, pale blue speck in the vastness of space. This image is a powerful reminder of our planet's isolation and fragility in the cosmic expanse, highlighting the need for responsible stewardship of our home. The photograph was a result of astronomer Carl Sagan's suggestion to turn Voyager's camera back towards Earth, offering a profound perspective on our place in the universe.

"Energy literacy has to start with where does the power come from to your home and it involves things that are way bigger than just controlling your home, it's how do you get this power reliably." - Susanne Ogle, Southern Gas #SmartEnergy23

The image sets these AI are trained on need to be public facing and opt in only. The onus needs to be on the AI devs to ethically source the images they train them with, not on the artists to keep cutting the head off the endless AI hydra appropriating our work.

watched this last night and realized it’s a movie about the women behind beanie babies and we are still promoting the part about the man.
