Will ChatGPT Take Over Blogging?
Girl playing chess against robot If you haven’t logged into the internet last year, it would be understandable if you haven’t heard of ChatGPT. However, by now I feel the majority of people have been forced by someone they know to learn about this new program. As someone who works in tech, I’d like to start out with that I am not OVERLY concerned about ChatGPT yet or similar programs. At…

January 2023 Recap
January 2023 Recap These stats for January are probably a little bit off because I’m looking at them the second week of February and I usually try to look at these the last day of the month or the first day of the next month. I got a tiny bump in views and visitors compared to the month previous. If you look at the chart though and see a huge bump in views and visitors from October 2021, that’s…

My Goal Setting Plan of Action for 2023

Yeah so last year I didn’t blog as frequently like I planned. Had a lot happen in my personal life and needed to focus on that. However, this year I’m planning on putting in more time for ME and focusing on what I want to do. At least I was able to get a job that is fully remote and will give me a better work life balance compared to my last job. Part of this involves actually reading. I only…
