I share how I use AI tools, specifically ChatGPT and MidJourney, in my daily work. I present my favorite prompts for English corrections/practice, and generating kids’ coloring books.

I’ve got a fresh new avatar thanks to Andy. Plus, I’m taking on a DIY terrace renovation and automating my garden watering. Apparently, I’m also looking for additional hours in a day.

Let’s talk about conflict, harmony, and a little something I’d like to call, the “Openness Gauge”. I’m rediscovering psychological safety.

I miss those sunsets so much. I miss the sun, the ocean, the beach, the roads, the ice creams, the chill… I miss Tenerife.

In this blog post, I introduce my new series called ‘Bullets’ where I share my thoughts and experiences in a concise bullet point format. There’s a photo of a blue car and a few links to other people’s blogs.

It was supposed to be a comedy, a moment when I could turn my brain off for a bit and enjoy some easy TV. However, it turned out to be so much more. What surprised me the most was the amount of tears I shed while watching this show.

I reflect on my social media journey from Facebook, via Instagram, Twitter to LinkedIn, and my eventual retreat from these platforms. I share my vision for a more personal and less intrusive social media experience, and how I find value in platforms like Mastodon and my personal blog.

Based on the number of posts, April was a quiet month. But honestly, I don’t believe myself that this is true, so let’s try to tear the April apart and see what happened!

• I’m back in the saddle, both gravel and MTB bike were ridden a few times this month! A little bit over 100km in total, but it’s a start!
• I watched some cycling in TV, kept my fingers crossed for Pogacar, he managed to win Ronde van Vlaanderen, Amstel Gold Race and La Flèche Wallonne. It was a pity he had to pull out of Liège-Bastogne-Liège due to a crash and broken wrist. It’s really cool to watch the final kilometers of the race in TV with children, they are really excited about it:)
• Changed the tires in the car, and a few days later one of the tires got puctured, we didn’t react on time and it got damaged, had to buy another one 🙃
• Juve has one of the worst seasons in the last 10 years, sometimes it’s really hard to watch them play. Still… Fino alla fine!
• We spent one day with alpacas on the farm nearby, it was a great experience for the whole family!
• During one of the weekends, when I was with the boys alone, we had an idea of using ChatGPT and Midjourney to create a story. It was a lot of fun, and I can recommend it to everyone who has kids and wants to spend some time with them in a creative way!
• By the way, at work we’ve done a workshop for our People team and presented them how to leverage the power of generative AI in their daily work. 3 main insights from the workshop:
  • I enjoy such events with people!
  • We’re in exremely interesting times and it feels great to be a part of it!
  • Legal and compliance stuff around this topic will be (and already is) a mess.
• I’ve bought a drone, even though I resisted for years. It’s cool to fly it, it gives me a lot of fun! I have to add few things to my todolist right now:
  • learn how to fly it properly
  • make sure I know how to store the raw footage in a clever way
  • become a video editing master
  • learn what’s LUT and color grading
  • learn how to use DaVinci Resolve (or maybe something else?)
  • empty my photos backlog from last year to make some space for the new stuff
• There was at least one pretty sunset, totally #nofilterneeded
• We planned to do a family holiday between April/May this year, we even managed to go to Budapest (here’s a “cyk” from that trip), unfortunately some viruses or other stuff broke our plans and got back home. Before I felt asleep, I had a reflection that… here is everyone and everything I need, especially during warmer months, we can enjoy our place even more:)

• March Was Tough

April, thank you! 💙

Not only we saw the Pope Francis during our visit in Budapest, but there was also a tram! The photo was taken during our only walk around the city.

Budapest is a beautiful city, I hope to visit it again soon!

After quite successful and productive February, March decided to be a bit more challenging. I had some issues on all fronts, but still managed to discover and experience a few interesting things.
