Picking which idea gets written first is a tricky proposition. I close my eyes and listen to them recite themselves over and over. Some lead to more ideas. Others stand alone starkly or awkwardly. Some seem ridiculously and unnecessarily revealing. Or mundane. Or grandiose. Vain. A trope. My internal editor red-lines most everything, anymore.
However, I still crave writing and returning to the habit.
Baby steps.

Was gifted a new Apple TV for Father’s Day. First I watched Tron, then 808.
In other project news, I’m keeping an older EliteBook pc notebook alive via Ubuntu. I made the leap to Mesa 18.1.1 for video.

In the past several weeks I have been working on long-dormant web projects, including changing my registrar, changing service with my host, adding SSL finally, then adding Micro.blog. Feels like home.
Very grateful to @manton for a new vision of networking and for rapid assistance on a technical issue.

Taken from an email in my work inbox this morning:
“…It is biased data, not machine learning alone that should be feared.”
That is certainly much more broadly applicable than in the field of AI. I see this at the crux of many of the socio-political issues we face as a culture.
