Walkabouts in springtime…
Something had me out and about in the woods this weekend. These were the snaps along the way. #Silverlinings

Thursday Seeds | Sketches with no pencil
A sketch with no pencil is what, a finger painting? And what would be so bad about that? This one, a set of dolphins was done with iPad; procreate looking very much like pastels. There are sketches of my kid’s over painted fingers placed on a page to be decorated later. I may dig that out for you to see. No one would really know that was what was going on but me, unless I tell you. Does it change how you look at the sketch? Maybe. I call small autobiographic notes and posts here a sketch too. A “what if” story that may or may not be taken seriously…

Thursday Seeds | Playlist Heaven
The beauty of learning new music and even new genres is that new ideas can arise from them. Not just musical ideas, but certain sounds can bring up memories of past times and also inspire new ones. What would it be that you would select to listen to while you look at those pictures that you took from the weekend? The played tunes from the time of shots is one genre, but what if you are listening to another one while you do edits? Would it look different? Last night, I found saturation edits being more prevalent and I wonder if the kind of music that I was listening to…

Thursday Seeds | Data that Samples – Part 2
Last week we talked about the data and how it relates in the mode of LLM and the proximity percentages of how words relate to each other. What if we use a different context? Data that samples. Let’s go in a musical direction. Why? Because it’s art but also science and math too. Those are subjects that AI can get its head around with a semblance of context. It could be the liaison that brings it all together. Do you know anything about the Orchid? Or Telepathic instruments? It’s a new music idea that uses an AI module to help predict where you might want to go musically. Orchid is…

Thursday Seeds | Data that Samples
Let me preface this post with an important point: I’m not a data scientist. I do have training in systems and processes in my industrial engineering back ground. The beauty of this is that I have a different view point than many classically trained scientists. They could look at my article and scoff their heads off. To each their own. But this is almost the very point of the last article that I posted regarding data: Graphers that POV. My view point could be valued to the point that it could change the way we look at certain given types of data. It’s curious to think about how an algorithm…

Thursday Seeds | Renewal
Spring is here in the South. The seeds are sprouting, the bumble bees are the first pollinators to arrive, and rains happen when they feel like it. Luckily, no massive storm clouds for this neck of the woods. These are the blessings that should be counted in the number of the seeds. The data samples could be in those numbers too. Because not all will survive, seeds tend to be many so that some will find a good place to germinate, grow and bloom. Bloom where you are planted. <=The Seed idiom of the day. Incidentally, I promised a data that sample post this week. Stay tuned for next week.…

Thursday Seeds | Graphers that POV
What are graphers? They are typically numbers people but really relate to data best in graphic form. They understand the need to harness the data that many companies are already storing. Instead of using SQL and traditional databases, they use graph databases which structure the data in a design pattern. Using these design patterns, graphers use a different method to pull that data out for presentation so that business leaders can make specific relevant decisions about their business. My usual go to when I refer to the need of a knowledge graph is “graphers gonna graph”. This takes it all a step further. Because not only do they graph, that…

Thursday Seeds | AI and the Next Gen
You have dialed into a huge can of worms metaphorically… stay tuned or keep scrolling. Ai videos – the joke about 6 fingers. What if humans start developing them? ;-o What if the third eye isn’t in the mind? ;-o What about your cat with the heart nose. Real or AI? Why are folks so hesitant to work with AI? Well a portion of it is trust. The movies have not helped or have helped depending on your point of view. We should be educated and fact checking. If AI gives us an answer, how are we sure that the answer is correct? If AI tells us we SHOULD have…
