Microsoft OneNote

By Wayne Brown

OneNote seems to be the solution to sharing information cross-platform. Associated OneDrive seems to be a candidate for sharing outside of OneNote, should that be really needed.

------------

I stumbled onto this when checking out reviews of Scapple. The reviewer was disappointed that everything he needed was already in OneNote, so Scapple was a waste of his precious pennies.

Actually, OneNote does look interesting for the larger task of organizing my massive collection of bookmarks, making simple sketches, and sharing Scapple sheets. This is a perfect example of finding something you really need but didn't know it.

OneNote seems to be part of Office365, which may need a subscription update. It is cross-platform and can share links to Scrapple sheets as well as others (I note an OOP design from the Dalhousie project - 2014

Access also on iPad, and iPhone including long-sought support for apple pencil !!!

TO Save and Restore a Scrapple Sheet:

  • Drag to a page in OneNote, tell it to save the file, and make a link
  • You can't use the link directly. Go to OneDrive in the OneNote folder and open the file from there.
  • This seems to be generally the case. Dox in OneDrive seem to be read-only, even office dox like spreadsheets.

Facebook and Bing - A Killer Combination

 This is a partial list of groups I belong to that focus on Generative AI art: Facebook creates community. I use BING as a kind of Generative AI university: BING U.  I prefer the role of student, so my job is to find good teachers. Think of me as the guy who shows you around the campus and knows his way around, but he's a student himself. Microsoft BING is free and very powerful. It's an excellent way to learn Generative AI and a standard tool that everyone in my imaginary school has. The way to find a teacher is to see their work in a Facebook group. Then, save the picture that caught your eye in a Word document (or document editor of your choice). For example ... Joe McIntosh What we have found here is not only the prompt for the picture but a teacher who shares the prompts for all his pictures. Look for artists who work primarily with BING. Don't get distracted by other platforms or techniques. Learn to do one thing well before shopping for better tools. The best Facebo

A Process ...

She will be 105 in September. She struggles to recognize her four children, let alone her countless grandchildren. Today, she said, "Nobody told me how to die." She has always wanted to die in her own home, an oversized place that has always had room for an endless parade of visitors. She has always been very "social." Although she struggles to remember the old friends dropping by, she chats happily "on automatic." There are a lot of relatives. She was raised on a farm near North Battleford, Saskatchewan, where her Russian parents raised 16 children. I asked "AI" - specifically Claude 3 Sonnet , to describe this situation in a short essay. I have taken the liberty of letting Grammarly , my AI writing assistant, make a few corrections to Sonnet's purple prose. This is the slightly edited version: She sits in  the twilight of her extraordinary life, a living embodiment of resilience and grace. At 105 years old, her eyes, dimmed by time, still h

Warp Speed Generative AI

Jump to Warp Speed Warp 2 Warp 3 Warp 4 "Warp Speed"  Illustration of " Language is a Virus " Laurie Anderson Completed in the time it takes to perform the song For a very long time, I have tried to master information processing tools and "wire" them together into a "machine" that suits my purpose. "Warp Speed Generative AI" combines several powerful families of AI tools to turn an idea into one or more pictures. Along the way, we get an explanation of the original idea, references and a detailed explanation of the style. I call it "Warp speed" because AI seems to give me whiplash as it takes my idea and runs with it. I just hang on and enjoy the ride. "Warp Speed" is a response to the current obsession with prompts: how to write them, when to share them, how to monetize them, what books to read, what courses to take and so forth. AI can write pretty good prompts. "Prompt Engineering" is an endangered speci
