I've previously written about how to create an instagram slideshow with iPhone, now it's about time to write a tutorial for Android as well (yes, a Samsung Galaxy 3 user here).

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Update



Thor Olavsrud

AI is already here, whether we recognize it or not.
"Many organizations are using AI already, but they may not refer to it as 'AI,'" says Scott Gnau, CTO of Hortonworks. "For example, any organization using a chatbot feature to engage with customers is using artificial intelligence."
But many of the deployments leveraging AI technologies and tools have been small-scale. Expect organizations to ramp up in a big way in 2018.

Would you like to be featured in the next issue?

It struck me the other day that it's a long time (I suspect a very long time), since I ran the occasional Featured Reader section in this newsletter. I enjoyed that, and I hope others did, so I'd like to do that again.

It's no biggie in terms of what you have to do to participate. All I need from you is a photo - preferably a headshot such as you use on Facebook or LinkedIn, a very short bio, no more than 300 words, and a link to your web site, or Facebook profile, or LinkedIn profile. Is that easy advertising, or what?!

See this example, where I featured Becky McCray from Alva, OK, USA

Just send me an email to coach@deswalsh.com tell me you're in, and I'll be in touch.
