The Weekly Wrap - The Weekly Wrap #114
Like what you’re reading? Consider sharing it with a friend. I was playing around with ChatGPT this week (no, I'm not afraid it will come for my job) and found myself asking it to do some brainstorming for me. One of the hardest parts of content creation is just finding an idea. There are weeks I simply stare at my screen and try to come up with something - anything - worth talking about.
None of these are earth-shattering or innovative ideas... but they are ideas. I think I may work my way through them in this space in coming weeks. A few days ago, I cracked open Amanda Gorman’s Call Us What We Carry. I can now officially state that I have read more poetry this year than I have in my entire life. I spied this book on a display at our local library branch and was intrigued enough to pick it up. So far, the poems are very reminiscent of Gorman's inaugural poem. They are full of history, power, and emotion.
DC was one of the cities who had hazy skies and awful air quality due to the wildfire smoke coming down from Canada. Our air quality rating even hit purple one day. NYC had it worse. This image of the Chrysler Building shrouded in smoke speaks to the poor conditions. [The Atlantic - may be paywalled] With all the smoke in the air, I can’t be the first person to recommend AirNow.gov to you, but I’m going to do it anyway. This website takes local readings to let you know the air quality in your vicinity. Now that my rash of presentations is over, I need to buckle down on project work. Why is it so hard to focus?
