There are a couple of great academic events going on locally (here in Alabama) next week. The big one for me is the AL AI Innovation Summit - to which my poster presentation has been ACCEPTED!!! I'm excited to bring the idea of cognitive architecture and a working prototype to the summit next week. Also - over the weekend, I'm working on finishing getting my own cognitive architecture online, with the ability for others to use! There will be free trials available for people to be able to try it to see if it's right for them. I hope that all of you will be able to try it out. And as a thank you for being a part of this community - I'd like to extend the free trial for each of you for an additional two weeks. More details and an announcement post to come...

Here's my win: I caught myself about to spend 40 minutes formatting a spreadsheet and stopped. Asked Claude to do it. Took 3 minutes. That's not impressive. It's not a "10x productivity hack." It's just 37 minutes I got back because I noticed I was doing instead of thinking. The small wins are the ones that compound. The big flashy AI breakthroughs make great LinkedIn posts. But the actual quality-of-life improvement? It's the 50 tiny moments where you stop, redirect, and let the system handle what the system should handle. What's your smallest win this week? Don't overthink it. The more boring, the better.
