Upcycling Old Thoughts So You Don’t Have to Read Anything New

How BPPV Vertigo Brought Eight Firefighters to My Bedroom

I’m having a blast upcycling old content. Seriously, I should have thought of this years ago.
One of my projects over the tropical winter we seemed to have on the front range of Colorado was to convert audio from the 20 episodes of the Unlikely Gifts Podcast we recorded a few years ago into text. Then I ordered (okay, I asked nicely) one of my AI chatbots to identify the best 100 quotes from over nine hours of podcast banter.
The results were remarkable . . . approaching mind-blowing impressive.
From there I homed in on my most intelligent quotes. I kept whittling and carving, striving for clarity. Some of my comments evolved into gibberish, but a few golden nuggets stood out.
And here are a few of my zippier quips, which I refer to as “Clarity Insights.” Yet more unlikely gifts from me to you. Hope you enjoy!
Succinctly yours,
