I use Gemini for about 90 to 95% of my AI work. But this looks promising so I’m gonna give it a whirl for some data to charts prompts. Basically I’m putting this here so I don’t forget it.

The new model, called Muse Image, rolled out with deep integrations woven into the Instagram app. As part of this update, public Instagram profiles are now automatically opted into being fodder for generative AI remixes. All someone has to do is tag your account’s profile in a prompt—if it’s public—and they can use Meta AI to generate an image using your likeness.

As part of Meta’s Muse Image model rollout, Instagram users with public accounts need to opt out to block AI generations of their content.

Big news for changemakers. I’ve officially upgraded my Google for Nonprofits services for 2026 - finally.

What does that mean for you? I’m helping qualifying nonprofits unlock up to $120,000/year in free Google Ads (yes, really!) plus full access to Google Workspace for everybody in your organization.

I’ve been in this game since getting vetted as a Google Partner in 2014. Since then, I’ve had the absolute honor of managing some of the biggest, most iconic names right here in Sacramento, including:
🦁 The Sacramento Zoo
📚 The Central Library
🎻 The Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera
🎨 The Crocker Art Museum

I’m looking to bring on just 3 new clients before May wraps up.
The Best Part? My fees are easily the most competitive in the country, starting at just $250/month. Many others charge upwards of $2,000.

That doesn't just cover ad management—it also includes website management and SEO consulting. I'll make sure your landing pages are flawless, error-free, and primed to convert those clicks into donors and volunteers.
Let’s unlock your free funding.
👇 Drop a comment or DM me to grab one of the 3 spots. Let’s do a free 30-minute video audit of your nonprofit to find out if your org qualifies to get supercharged.

I do not accept all clients. I've had to pass on many because I knew they wouldn't be able to truly tap into the power of a Google Grant.

I was trained my Google to teach workspace to consumers. I use it every day and this should be a gym changer. I’m actually excited to hit the office this morning and give it a whirl.

After first announcing availability in beta last month, Google's Workspace office suite has new Gemini tools rolling out now.

Quick read on the topic of 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐀𝐈'𝐬 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐑𝐔𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 in the design industry. There is good and bad news. Yes, lots of people are losing jobs while others are experiencing a surge in hiring, and yet, even others at the top are commanding much higher salaries.

For me, it came down to critical thinking. If you're good at it, you can master AI. As we've been saying for ages, "garbage in, garbage out." The quality of our AI prompts and knowledge of how a particular AI engine works will shape the quality of the answer.
