You ever hit that point where every love song seems to be about you? haven’t felt that way since college, but here we are again in that same space but with considerably less swagger… and hair. It points to a mindset–being receptive to what the universe is spinning in your direction. Lately the universe has been thumping out the cadence of ‘change or die’. That or the algorithms that govern my digital interactions have picked up on something and are steadily reinforcing that message.
Funny thing is, both options are equally possible. It is not a stretch to believe in God. It is not a stretch to believe in a higher electronic power either–one which gently nudges the complex codes that govern what we see on the web in order to tell us a message we would otherwise overlook. Perhaps it is even more simple. Perhaps said algorithms pickup on your surfing and viewing habits, painting a picture of the type of content you are unconsciously pushing towards and delivers that content, reinforcing the emotions that lie below the surface of our understanding.
Whatever it is, Pandora is all up in my head.
Some Thoughts:
- Self-confidence is the sexiest thing on the planet.
- I always wanted a daughter. I would have named her Patience and required quite a bit of it myself.
- I want my own personal AI. My experiences with Siri, Alexa, and even the GPS in my car lead me to believe a cross platform AI would be supremely beneficial.
- Yeah, I got the Echo dot. Yeah, it is that dope.
