Prepare for COVID-19

I'm sure the Coronavirus COVID-19 global pandemic is on everyone's minds, & having a spouse working in the frontlines of the medical field helps me sort through the good/bad info. Snopes.com is a good fact checker, & check out the CDC safety tips such as practicing good hygiene, cancelling non-essential travel, & avoiding large crowds on the PDF linked at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html‬

Additional info from reputable sources:
I hope all my colleagues, family, & friends are taking the appropriate measures to stay safe & stock up on supplies. Feel free to share this & reach out for any questions. Thank you

Free Cert Data AI Cyber

Free Cert Data AI Cyber I love learning new things, so working in technology is a non-stop adventure! There are fun topics like: Cyber Security - it's no surprise that the rapid growth in technologies like AI, IoT, & Cloud have made securing vital data & infrastructure for companies more important now than ever before. I wanted to keep up to date, so it was a pleasure to attend the Official Cyber Security Summit last week in Miami, my first large technology conference attended since COVID. I met a lot of great people in the InfoSec community, and am looking forward to more events like that.  Data - as a 2017 article in The Economist says "the world's most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data."

AI is powered by data (Large Language Models, LLMs) to generate fresh content as we...

Geeking out Data AI

Geeking out on Data & AI I tend to obsess over at least one subject to keep me always learning new things, and this time it is Data & AI: Data - it is all around us, & tools like Microsoft Power BI allow us to harness that power. Since it is one of our main tools used at work, I knew I needed to use it more. Luckily, Microsoft Learn offers free hands-on labs that walk you through all the basics. After completing their cloud skills challenge at one of their recent events, I was offered a discount to take the Power BI Data Analyst (PL-300) exam. After attempting the exam, I'm glad to share that I passed! AI - I'm also amazed by how powerful AI tools can help us out with daily tasks. My main go-to is ChatGPT for generating content, summarizing content, & much more. And if you have Microsoft Edge, Bing Chat is built into the browser & lets you do things like summarize articles & generate images. I enjoy sharing what I'm learning, so I'm putting toget...

My Top Books in 2022

 I'm looking forward to surpassing my goal of reading 50 books again for the Goodreads 2022 Reading Challenge! This year I've had a large number of books I gave 5 stars, so I took extra time to enjoy them. For many years I gave myself the excuse that I didn't have the time to sit down and read, and barely read 1 book a year. So how did I do it? Well listening to audiobooks while driving or training for sports to stay in shape  definitely helps. Luckily books in Amazon Kindle format can also be read by Echo devices and even using the Alexa app. My top books by category read in 2022 were: Business/Technology • The Innovators https://amzn.to/3GQmP5b • Invent & Wander https://amzn.to/3EIe7DF • The Code Book https://amzn.to/3icsx7j Mindset/Motivational • Ego Is the Enemy https://amzn.to/3ODAX3O • Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life https://amzn.to/3gDpPau Health/Wellness/Psychology • How to Change Your Mind https://amzn.to/3U5J0re • Why We Sleep https://amzn...
