Never swat at gnats.

I'll be keynoting this event (and spending my first ever night in Indianopolis!). Hope you'll consider joining us.

I'm attending this event. Who else is going? invt.io/1txb5w95e02

Putting my money where my mouth is. If you live in or around Rockville Centre, this might be of interest. I’m volunteering but they charge a fee to cover the overhead. Your child will walk away knowing how to do basic coding with AI.

I finally updated patrickfogarty.net. You can book me for speaking engagements there or via Premiere here: premierespeakers.com/speaker…

…drop in a quote or two and ask GPT to synthesize these two thoughts. There are so many moments of utter desperation when you’re working on something so overwhelming that any help feels like manna from heaven. 3.0, 3.5, and 4 produced work that was generally…

I realized things had gone too far when I decided to set up a Strat in dropped D tuning and began considering using my acoustic for a couple of songs, too. Three guitars to play 25 songs on my stoop seems excessive, but then again, if you got ‘em…

So @Lisacfogarty decided to go hard for St. Patrick’s Day and in the process created a new memory for our kids and helped jog my own childhood memories. Plus this is the best corned beef I’ve ever eaten and it’s not close.

Big get for KidOYO. @pomara_matt is a great choice for this.

Today marks the last day of my intervention. Now, I write chapter 5 and walk across the stage to get my doctorate at some point.

Fraser Speirs was/is a very influential thinker in ed IT circles, but he nuked his Twitter not long ago and we’ve only corresponded a couple of times since. So I had no idea about this: greenocktelegraph.co.uk/news… What an incredible story!

This is Colin’s old live-streaming setup. He’s actually getting some viewers, so we’re upgrading. It’s the cutest thing in the world.
