Some Great Reading Ahead
WMG has put together a starter kit for Dean’s fiction. You can get the first story/book in ten of his series through the Kickstarter at every award level.

If you already love some of the series, you can find […]

Business Musings: The Research (Part Two) AI Audio
Full disclaimer here: I wrote longer pieces on my Patreon page and combined them together for this post. There’s a lot of learning and dithering there, as well as a fairly mediocre audio sample that you can hear if you want to join up. I wrote those pieces in the moment, so I’m reprinting them here without changing that “in the moment” feel. I have […]
