Wednesday night – VoMIT tour

Dane and I woke up early to take a beautiful snowy walk up catamount Trail before work

Had a good productive day at work 
. At lunch I ran to Michals to get soem parts for the ornaments I’m making for the BETA Maker fair. I ran into my neigbor Ros.. and our freind Marge and her and kevoins super cute baby James


and then at 6 PM my colleagues from Vermonts own MIT club (VOMIT) started showing up. We’ve arranged a tour and I’d expected maybe five or six people but we had 25. Thanks to my friend. Henri, who was also an MIT alum we had enough people to do a tour. My friends really loved seeing what was going on at Beta.

After the tour we all ent out for dinner. 



super nice catching up with my co-alumns

Tuesday night – hit the ground running

I work week started early this morning. We are hosting some guests from another company. I know a lot of the people from this company through my connections in university and industry. I respect them very much. It was great having them for the day. We had fantastic discussions and I can see a great opportunity to work together. Of course I can’t go into any of that… But one of them out that we had these clocks for all of our facilities… So far they’re all in the same time zone. I had never noticed the one that said lunch which always points towards noon.… It’s like the old adage that even a clock is right once a day… 



Or is that twice a day ?

Sunday night – laying low

Beautiful day.. and feeling lots better.. First DIane and I took a quick hike up the Dale Ball trails..   one of our favorite hikes 







later on , We all went for a hike with our friend Willa and her beautiful half wolf, half dog Raya

We also stopped by a Christmas craft fare at the same place we heard the Grateful Dead cover band  the other day

This being our final night here, we headed to Marias for dinner and soppapillas !

We went back to Max and Beckys and checked out soem cad for projects max was workign on.. such cool stuff !

another thing I did today was to complete (with ChatGPTs help )  a first prototype of some  code to allow me to download my blog into printable docs with pictures.. and text only docs for use in AI programs like  chatgpt.   It’s been a really fun exercise.. I’ve collected a whole lot of writing and pics in 18 years.. 

want to guess how many pages ? 

over 41,000 pages !

hard to believe !.

I had my first experience loading the text only stuff into ChatGPT.. it’s pretty amazing what kind of stuff I can explore that way

stay tuned for more info on this experiment !
