David Mathison

Good morning! #boardwalkhenge #LongBeach #SOOC = no edits no filters no photoshop no lightroom no nothing just the @Sony #a1 (which I love!)

Rest in peace, Phil Donahue. Sincere condolences to his family, friends, and fans. He was extremely nice to me, gave a wonderful endorsement to my book. It read like he was introducing me as a guest on his TV show. He was a kind, decent man and a national treasure. He pioneered the model of participatory media - he made the audience part of the show. He was loved by millions and he will be missed. “David Mathison's BE THE MEDIA offers the preposterous idea that broadcasting and publishing need not be exclusive to industrial titans. You (yes, he means you) can take the "big" out of "media" and return this most important feature of democracy to the people. The practical advice offered in this book are ideas whose time has come ... and none too soon. For those who've come to understand that the "news" and what's hot in popular culture are decisions made by large corporations, this book is must reading. Here is the hand book for those Americans who want to join and help lead the revolution that is urgently returning to the people, the power of conveying information to a populace starved for new ideas from outside the box of big business commercialism.” - Phil Donahue (2008)

Thanks to Brian C. Goehring, Global Research Lead, AI at the @IBM Institute for Business Value for alerting me to his team's new report "The Ingenuity of Gen AI: Unlock Productivity & Innovation at Scale," which launched at the IBM AI Summit in London on June 12. "Generative AI has seemed almost too good to be true. It cuts coding time from days to minutes, personalizes products down to the tiniest detail, and spots security vulnerabilities almost as soon as they appear. And it’s helped skyrocket AI ROI from 13% to 31% since 2022." "More than three in four (77%) say gen AI is market ready, up from just 36% in 2023, and nearly two-thirds (62%) now say gen AI is more reality than hype." "More than three-quarters of executives say they need to adopt generative AI quickly to keep up with competitors. And 72% of the highest performing CEOs say competitive advantage depends on who has the most advanced generative AI, according to the IBM Institute for Business Value (IBM IBV) 2024 CEO study." "But for some organizations, transformative opportunities like these seem out of reach..." Is YOUR transformative opportunity "out of reach?"

Happy autumnal equinox! Long Beach's "Boardwalkhenge" was clouded out this year, but fortunately I took some 'test' shots of the sun setting straight down the boardwalk back on Weds Sept 20 at 6:45pm. The days are getting shorter, the shadows longer. Enjoy, it's fall 📷

My new neighbor Ozzy Osprey got the sashimi - again. I was today years old when I learned that ospreys do not drink water. Apparently, the fish they eat supply all the water they need! Have a great weekend!
