I am utterly blown away by the results you can get with an AI that generates images based solely on text prompts. Did some playing around in DreamStudio today. Go and see what came of it: samipaju.com/blog/bloodborn…

I will be speaking at the #ScanAgile23 conference in Helsinki at the end of March about Sustainable Pace. Would you care to help me out by filling a survey? What practices you, your team, or organisation has that promote sustainable pace at knowledge work? forms.gle/PoEyuiWxeFBcf8…

When you have learnt how to build (and break) habits with a high success rate, the big question becomes "which things are truly worth turning into habits?" Personally, having built a mobility and movement practice for mornings and evenings over past year has been a game changer.
