I'm 62. I'm supposed to be slowing down and talking about the good old days of the internet. Instead I'm building new things with AI almost every day and having more fun than I did in 1995.

People were saying @elonmusk was going to end Twitter. I said "Nope. Wait and see" It really is difficult to be right so often.

I am not impressed by your wealth. I am not impressed by your power. I am not impressed by your fame. I am impressed by your character.

My first paid tech job was a database for a cabinet company. I couldn't code. So I said yes, then called my friend Phil, who could. Today AI is my Phil. The skill was never the coding. It was saying yes and knowing what to build. What would you build if coding was free?

If you are over 50, you'll remember turning on rock radio to hear the latest songs from Queen, Boston, Led Zepplin, Doobie Brothers, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, David Bowie and so many other legends. One banger after another. Today's popular music sucks.

I used to think shutting something down meant I'd failed. Then we sank six figures into a text-message marketing platform, the first of its kind. It worked. We couldn't sign up a single customer. When I pulled the plug in 2011, I felt free. What have you held onto too long?

What was the first online service you ever used? Mine was a 300-baud modem on a TRS-80, dialing local bulletin boards. Then came AOL, CompuServe, Prodigy and GEnie before the web showed up. Bonus points if you remember the modem sound.

I HAVE X Money, but my account says it isn't available to me because I live in Puerto Rico. Can someone send $1 or whatever the smallest amount is so I can see if I can receive funds, please?

The internet loves to preach the grind. 80-hour weeks. I ignored it. Then I looked back at the 8 or 9 biggest wins of my career. Every one came when I was having fun. The flops came when I chased hustle over joy. Where did your best win come from: the grind or the fun?

The nineties were the last decade of great rock and roll that reached popular status. The past two decades are rife with mediocrity. The seventies were the height of rock and roll. Prove me wrong.

Taylor Swift is the epitome of mediocre pablum packaged and marketed to a world that eagerly consumes and celebrates mediocrity.

Music is subjective but "the Beatles are overrated" is the clearest signal anyone will ever give that they simply don't know what they are talking about.

We just got to our cabin on the cruise ship and this towel animal was waiting for us on the bed. What is it? We have several theories, but are undecided. @HALcruises
