    It was a busy and productive day – made even better because I got to listen to two episodes in a row.

    I am surprised that Chris didn’t use some Men At Work songs for those tone demos. Or maybe I’m thinking a bit too chiché.

    Mastering AI interaction is not only great as a job skill, but after SkyNet takes over it may find you useful enough to keep alive.

    So southerners say “lighting bug”; northerners say “firefly”; and anime fans say “Outlaw Star.” (Sorry, couldn’t resist the nerd humor even if no one will get it.)
