Hey, Having spent a good part of my life working in computers, I've spent a few decades watching the advent of things like VR, AR, and now, AI. I've not been surprised to see the artificial intelligence crowd try to create an AI therapist. It's a very old idea, actually! I remember interacting with ELIZA [...]

I woke up this morning a little late, and a lot disoriented. It's a Saturday here, and my son had woken me up earlier, then I pulled the covers over me and fell back asleep. For me, morning dreams are notoriously vivid, and often result in what I call a "dream hangover" - an emotional [...]
Yesterday I wrote a blog post about The 3 Things You Must Agree Upon Before Separating. Today I want to go over the 3 Possible Outcomes of a Marital Separation. While there are other outliers, this will cover the vast majority of couples who separate. The couple will decide they want to try again, and [...]
