I run projects across multiple businesses, a screen printing company, a media organization and others. The action items live everywhere. In people’s heads, in transcript files, in meeting notes. Nowhere centralized. I needed to make something everyone on specific teams could access and edit from any device, no app installs, no logins. So I built…
We have about 300 handwritten press log sheets sitting in binders. Every job that runs through the shop gets logged by hand, date, order number, screens, setup time, run time, comments. The problem isn’t the logging, the operators are thorough. The problem is that once it’s on paper, it’s dead. You can’t search it, you…
If you run a shop, you know this feeling. You invest time training someone, get them up to speed, build a rhythm, and then they’re gone. Research consistently shows that only about 30 percent of employees are truly engaged at work. That means 70 percent of the people on your floor could walk out tomorrow.…
I’ve been talking to my computer instead of typing for the past few months. Once you start, it’s hard to go back. Not every app lets you dictate into it. So I’d been talking into one app that does, copying the text, and pasting it where I actually need it. It works, but it’s clunky.…
And an AI Company Just Said No This week, Anthropic, the company behind Claude, drew a line against the Pentagon. Their position: we will not allow our AI to be used for mass surveillance of American citizens or in fully autonomous weapons. The Pentagon’s response? Drop those guardrails or lose your $200 million contract, get…
Creating art with AI is not the same thing as AI art. AI art is when you type a prompt and something spits out an image. You might refine the prompt, you might iterate, but the creative act is largely outsourced. The AI is the artist. You’re the client. That has its place, I use…
The Noise Problem America has a gift for taking anything with mass-market potential and marketing it until it’s unrecognizable. Something real gets buried under so much hype that people stop listening. AI is deep in that cycle right now. Every product is “AI-powered.” Every ad promises transformation. Most of it is noise making AI workflow…
°FAI: AI Image Resolution Upscaling for Print: Using Topaz Gigapixel, Photoshop Generative Upscale & DALL-E for Production-Ready Artwork I spend some of my days making and/or taking others AI-generated artwork and making it production-ready. This means upscaling images from typical 1024×1024 outputs to print-quality resolutions of 300 DPI or higher, cleaning up artifacts that become…
SO…. if you ran into me in Long Beach, you heard about my AI build for Print Order. The premise is simple, it assists users with setting print order, mesh, flashes, etc. This is done by supplying it a simple data file extracted from a sep. The idea, an artist that is maybe not so…
Most software companies have the same issue. They’ve created tons of helpful content, but almost nobody actually uses it. Training videos on YouTube. PDFs on their website. Customers still call support to ask the same questions again and again. Sometimes the videos are just too long. Latonna Roberson pointed that out very kindly (and I…
