“Protect your focus.” I heard that on a podcast recently, and it’s been something I’ve chewed on ever since. Here are a few of the first images you’ll find when you do a Google image search on that phrase.
FanExpo Dallas will be at the end of May and looks like something I might attend.
It will host a 40th anniversary celebration of Back to the Future featuring appearances by stars Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, and Tom Wilson.They’ll be joined by both actresses who portrayed the role of Jennifer Parker: Claudia Wells, who appeared in the original 1985 film, and Elisabeth Shue, who appeared in the two sequels from 1989 and 1990. Other stars appearing include Huey Lewis, James Tolkan (who played Principal Strickland), Donald Fullilove (Goldie Wilson), Harry Waters Jr. (Marvin Berry), and more.
They even have something for you White Lotus fans: The expo will also feature appearances by Parker Posey (Best in Show, Lost in Space) and Walton Goggins (The Hateful Eight, Justified, Fallout), fresh off their roles in season 3 of buzzy HBO series White Lotus.
Heck, I just might go to see some childhood crushes. Here’s an article if you’re interested.
Another AI tool I’ve been playing around with is Claude. To my surprise, yesterday they announced it now integrates with Google Workspace, allowing it to search and reference your emails in Gmail, scheduled events in Google Calendar, and documents in Google Docs. Some former Google dudes founded the company, and with a partnership like this, I wouldn’t be surprised if Google buys them within the next two years.
There’s a bug on the blog that’s been hard to fix, and it’s why my formatting looks funky from time to time. For some reason, when I try to leave a blank line either by a hard or soft return, WordPress doesn’t recognize it when I publish it, so all of a sudden you see a sentence attached to the period of what I intended to be the last sentence of the paragraph. It also happens when I try to add a blank line after an inserted image. Here’s an example from a few weeks ago. Notice the words “interesting” and “Ive” on each side of the image. That wasn’t done on purpose. A blank line appeared above and below it, and the placement of the words looked correct when I scheduled to publish the post. It even happens when I add a line break [<br>]. Grrr.
