Embracing the World of AI as a Gen X’r
is my ongoing chronicle of what happens when someone who grew up on mixtapes, arcades, and a 14.4k dial-up modem finally admits that AI isn’t a fad — it’s the next evolution of the tech we’ve been tinkering with since the days of FrontPage and floppy disks.
This series is part nostalgia tour, part mid‑career reboot, part reminder that Gen X has always adapted, even when we pretended we weren’t paying attention. If I want to keep moving forward in tech, I can’t keep dodging AI — I have to learn it, experiment with it, and figure out how it fits into the world I’ve been building since my introduction to MS-DOS and “Hello, World.” These posts capture that journey: the curiosity, the skepticism, the humor, and the quiet determination to stay in the game rather than age out of it.
