Blog

This place has been my digital home since 2002.

I write about topics such as lifelong learning, meaningful productivity, and mindful lifestyle. I like to explore how AI and technology can help us lead a more fulfilling life.

My goal is to share what I learn and come across, because I gain a lot of insight from what others share.

Get tips on using AI for creativity and productivity in your email each week.
