Creators!! OMG! I have to sincerely apologize for my absence but I have been Corporate-ing! Since I've gone back into Corporate work I hardly have time for anything outside of this job and when I do...I'm catching up on sleep. I don't know how we do it...but paying the bills. PAYING THE FREAKIN BILLS! Ouf! But I decided that since there are only 24 hours in a day, I might as well give one of those to the group because I love creating and I love AI. But no frets my friends, I have been using AI every single day all day long because that's part of my Corporate job! Hey! They pay me to play with AI all day and teach over 300 people how to build with AI and use it in their day-to-day workflow. What more can I ask for; however, it's still very demanding. Corporate goals and all. So, even though my AI work is corporate and workflow focused, I've still been using it for my creative projects WHENEVER I have some time. Can't wait to share them with y'all. So, what has everyone else been up to the past 8 months? Let's catch-up!

Hey Creators! It’s Saturday, the only time I have to work on personal AI projects even though I’m working with AI daily, Monday - Friday. What’s everyone working on? For me, I’m working on a vibe coding app. I need to utilize these credits every month that I’m paying for because they do not roll over. Why oh why can’t they allow them to roll since I am paying for them monthly!!! It’s so unfair. At least they should allow a couple of months to roll over. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m also brainstorming a new idea that I was creating in Pickaxe Studio but I’ve cancelled Pickaxe because it was expensive AND they redid the entire platform making everything more complicated and complex. Simple is always better. I have no idea why these companies feel they have to make things more complicated! So I’m rebuilding what I started using vibe coding. Decided to build using the Replit platform because I can more easily deploy it to app stores etc. What about you all?

Apparently, survival comes with a few unexpected side effects. Craig asks the question. Frank delivers the truth. Sometimes a twisted sense of humor is the best coping mechanism you’ve got. 🤣

Hey Creators! Happy summer! When I come up for air I will be more active again. Since March when I started this new AI role it’s been cray cray busy in a good kind of way. And as soon as I finish one micro-project a new one pops up. It’s like bop an AI Mole! Today I got a new one. My Boss asked me to present my AI program at the next CFO All Hands meeting IN 2 WEEKS! Even with AI it’s still nerve wracking. I think they expect even more because can use AI. So, this is how my summer has been. I don’t get a proper vacay until October!!! How’s your summer going so far?
