Use Your Words

My thoughts and opinions on topics ranging from AI to Business, from Finance to Philosophy, from Politics to Zealotry. This isn't science and I don't feel the need to prove anything to any reader, though I do try to be clear in my reasoning and logic.

Cold Fish

Submitted by JKHoffman on

Sushi. That's what my ex-wife used to call me. "Cold Fish."

That's a quote from Blade Runner, my favorite movie, possibly of all time, and it's about one of my favorite foods; sushi, the most science-fictional food of all when Blade Runner came out. Next week Friday, the new one, Blade Runner 2049, is coming out. But, I'm sharing this today not because of the new release, but rather because yesterday was my fourth anniversary. And, not to my ex-wife, but my new wife. And, not because my blushing bride calls me "cold fish", but because I proposed to her in a sushi restaurant.

Productivity

Submitted by JKHoffman on

Not just doing more in less time.

Look, I'm going to admit something to you here. I'm lazy. Not only that, but I feel terrible about it.
Yes, that probably will come as a shock to most people who know me in real life, away from this strange digital construct we call blogging, but it's true. I'm not just lazy and unmotivated, but I'm slow and super unproductive. I waste so much time I cannot even begin to conceive of a metaphor that encapsulates the enormity of my personal, moral failing. And, I promise you, I am not even kidding.
So, you know, happy Friday.
