Holiday card showing two stylized mushrooms and the message “Have a magical Christmas.”

Somewhere there is a holiday card designer, sitting in a corner, giggling to themselves.

I had to read that several times - ummmm, isn’t that YOU, Dan?

Yup. That’s it.

There’s a difference between using AI to help you and getting it all written by AI. I am not interested in an AI driven presentation- I want your human ideas…new human ideas.

Ugh. I work with a lot of speakers and BEG them to not go this route.

Just for clarification- they made it to the stage with an AI written abstract? Ie this was in the program?

I literally dumped everything into Teams and use the search there. Have years of Notes

I was one of those people with a bent iPhone a few years back. It kept working far longer than you’d think

Remember, they were taught to include the prompt! 😜

great. @bostonglobe.com - did you plan this? The ad for the Massachusetts Conference for Women is on the page facing the article on how companies are cancelling or delaying their impact reports. #ThingsSubscribersNotice

Nothing like watching 16,426 files synching on OneDrive...the former contents of my desktop. 😳

Which came first, the sign color or the shirt?

I usually plan to check at my 1:30 am wake-up.

Gotcha - we reach out and offer our @innovationwomen.com database as an option to help correct the issue

Which #WIT are we talking about?

This is my new favorite trick - if I'm going to evening event nearby, I park there for $3 with validation for up to 3 hours. And I get a little something-something nice. Better than paying $9 at Alewife and just getting parking.

Asking for a friend: If you buy Union Square Donuts for the Boston Public Market parking validation for a business meeting, are those donuts a business expense?

OK, Smart People With Real People Budgets - what are you stocking up on? I’m not talking about getting that new cell phone or car now instead of waiting. I’m talking about the 20 pound bag of rice at Costco.

A cloud of confetti bursts forth from the washing machine. Realizing that the confetti is chewed up business cards that were in my pocket. Sooo, if I don't follow up with you...

Realizing I look practically inactive due to an over-reliance on DMing.

Me me! I was early to the Twitter scene but now it's awful. Met the Blue Sky CTO @pfrazee.com at SXSW.
