So, I did it again. I created another Google Play Store app! This one is a cool little QR code scanner. Why? I mean, you can scan QR codes and barcodes using your phone's camera just as easily, right? Yes, you can. But... this app has a neat little "scanning" bar that moves up and down while you scan your QR codes! Ha. But really, it does a few things that I don't think your camera can do for you:
AI can't walk for me. Nor can automation (at least not yet, although Electromyostimulation is a topic of recent interest, and interestingly enough I had some of that when I was in rehab after shoulder surgery in December of 2024). So why do I talk of AI and automation in the same breath as exercise? Because I'm automating the reporting of my exercise. You may recall from my last post (Ripples, Resolutions, and Walking Shoes) that I was reporting my exercise journey daily on Facebook all year, and even had a full results sheet available for anyone to view. Well, I'm not reporting it daily this year. Nor am I manually updating a google sheet every day.
What I am doing, though, is kinda cool:
I think I may be turning into an AIgoholic, an AIgnostic Prompt Punk. What’s a Prompt Punk? It doesn’t mean I’m always on time—though maybe AI could help with that. A Prompt Punk is the new AI‑Geek: not your ordinary geek of old, but a prompt pundit who has transcended Google guruship and achieved prompt proficiency—a true prompt‑ficionado. My geekhood is evolving. Let’s explore.
Initially, I wasn't overly fond of AI — but, to be honest, I didn't really have much opinion on it one way or the other. Now, if you asked me if I had an onion on it, well, probably not that, either, but I do love onions! Cooked, raw, in stuff, on stuff, as battered & fried rings, as a Bloomin' Onion or Texas Tonion, on its own... yeah, I like onions pretty much any way you want to offer them to me. I've even just taken a raw onion, sliced it, and eaten the slices. I like onions. Anyway, back to AI...
