 I'm still new to AI and in the past few weeks I've been 'playing' with it more. I used NotebookLM to turn a story into a slide presentation. While it was good, I did have to correct some mistakes but I'm happy with the overall slides.  I like that it asks questions that prompt you to look at other things related to what you gave it. I've also tried an Infographic using a baptismal certificate. What do you think? I've used ChatGPT for some things but today I played with having it turn me into a caricature, here are three results.  I think they look good.

 A February rushes towards March, my blogging is still slow BUT I checked my progress for 2025 and found I was the same. Very slow to get started! February has been a good month with two talks given. The first one to Camden Family History Society, was my new talk, 60 websites in 60 minutes, or there about. It went well and came in under 60 minutes. The next talk was an oldie but one I love giving, You're the Voice, telling your family stories. This time it was to the Botany Bay Chapter of the First Fleet Association. I hope I've inspired people to tell their stories. Both groups are lovely and I have a great time when I present to them. My sister turned 80 and a lunch was organised for the day before. Lots of chat with cousins and a lovely day celebrating such a milestone. I did clean the patio, that had become rather dirty. I borrowed  my son-in-law's pressure cleaner and had a great time blasting away. It looks good! A new office chair was (finally) purchased. It has take...

 I've lost a month, it can't be February already? Well, I haven't really 'lost' January, it is just that I relaxed, had the grandchildren come and stay, went bowling, went out to lunch, had friends over, got little odd jobs done, nothing earth shattering. Genealogy didn't get done, except for a client. Blogging didn't happen. Plenty of reading. So MY year has started now and my calendar is filling up, something I'm going to have to slow down. We did book our next trip. We head to Broken Hill in May. Looking forward to exploring the city.
