Ken Kesey who wrote "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was my great uncle. He taught me the importance of having fun. A good handshake. Taught me how to play chess and gifted me my first board. Bought me my first guitar. Thanks Uncle Ken. Sparks Fly Upward ✨🌟

I feel really good about my odds applying just now for the Claude AI ambassador community. Wish me luck 🤞 The Balkan/Eastern European region needs a 850 year old dino AI mentor with over 100 repos that all have hosted working projects many of which Claude lent a helping hand.

I’ve always been a collector, a book collector for decades and one place I always go to look is thrift stores. Tucked between the pages there’s all these forgotten memories. What you’re looking at is an assemblage of items found between the pages. Like a time portal.
