<div>I've recently done some research into chatGPT. Interesting development but I'm not sure where it'll take the world.<br><br>My initial thoughts are that it will force writers and creators to become more niched and go deeper into a specific topic. Why? I think the number of crappy, overly generic - to the point of useless - content will only grow from here. This will thus reduce the value of advertising (with more poorly written blogs) and push the mediocre writers out. What will the final impact be? I don't know. But I subscribe to the idea that there will be massive shifts away from spammy generic content.<br><br>In other news, I'm testing out chatGPT. Im starting a blog - gardenersconnection.com - that is all about gardening and completely written by chatGPT. I'm thinking it'll run for 60 days initially, posting at least twice a day. With no effort in marketing, link building, or content generation, I'm interested to see what I can get analytic wise and Google ad revenue wise & I'll share the results.</div>

<div>Concepts like Fundrise, Groudfloor, Here.co, or Acre Trader have always intrigued me. I love the idea of gettiing and allowing the average person to get involved in a real asset - something that is generating cashflow.<br><br>A few years back I was looking into buying some containers and leasing them out for cash flow - still am. The problem I ran into was that in order to make it really work, you'd need a decent fleet to start. The logistics industry works on a massive economies of scale and theres idle equipment (containers) everywhere. I still love the idea of renting out (leasing) containers for shipments, the question is just how to do it...<br><br>So I've come up with a brain blast. Why not copy the same idea ad Fundrise or Groundfloor? Have investors buy into a container pool and leave the equipment out and pay distributions for performance? Seems like it is just crazy enough to work!</div>

<div>I was tasked with the impossible - open for operations months before you're ready and without any systems, processes or tools, just make it happen. I was wildly successful with that task.<br><br>When we have nothing and are tasked with making it happen, we get resourceful, we get creative in how we accomplish things. When we have all the "modern tools" and unlimited resources, we get lazy and begin to mentally reduce our capabilities. With all of the tools, we begin to make excuses for not hitting the mark, for not making the impossible happen.<br><br>Everything in life is simple - we make it complex. Everything in life is easy - we make it complex. Everything in like is possible - we make it impossible.</div>

<div>A new friend in a pizza place shared an idea with me - start up something like Visiting Angels where you offer only companion care to seniors aging in place (staying in their home).

<div>Yesterday afternoon, I was getting off the highway when I felt my front passenger side wheel begin to rumble. I instantly knew my tire had finally failed. I had been waiting for it to happen for about a year when I recognized the tire was in bad shape. However, I decided to ignore the problem. I told myself I’d take care of it one day, some day. Another day won’t hurt anything. On the side of a highway it finally blew. <br><br>I’ll be honest, I’m terrible at preventive maintenance. I chose to push something more and more until it fails and then I’m left with empty hands and usually an emergency. This practice of getting to the ragged edge and trying to hold on as long as possible can only lead to complete failure.<br><br>In life at large, I need to get better at preventing complete failures by simply performing a little preventative maintenance. How can I expect long term success if I don’t take care of what I have? How can I expect to get anywhere if I don’t have tires that work? </div>

<div>My grocery store clerk asked me how I was doing today. I told him how I was really doing - excellent - and asked how he was. The clerk's response never changes. He always says that today has been a pleasant one. His response never changing tells me he is saying something pleasant to move the conversation along or, he is always just pleasant (I think he's just trying to be easy and optimistic).<br><br>I have made a goal to always answer that question honestly and openly. I figure why beat around the bush for the sake of pleasantries. I tell the truth to that question to be open and real. That's not to say I go into any deep details or use the moment as a soapbox. I simply tell others I am great, or tired, or drained, excited, looking forward to something, or that I'm not doing very well. I want other people to do the same with me. We're not always 100% every day - that's life. A life worth living is one where there high mountain tops and deep valleys and sharing those moments with others - even complete strangers. Unless you are in a pleasant meadow.<br><br>The pleasant meadow lies somewhere about 30% up the mountain. It has some grass, a little creek, maybe a deer or rabbit comes across - shit, that actually sounds really nice right now. It's a pleasant place, a place that's very easy to never leave. When you're in a deep valley, it looks like the most idyllic place ever. People get stuck there all the time. Life in the pleasant meadow is without conflict, without noticeable struggle. It's a safe and easy existence. At the same time, there is no growth or movement in the meadow. There are no high points there. You just exist in the meadow. It's pleasant.<br><br>The pleasant meadow is enjoyable for a period. I needed the meadow when I struggled through some rough parts of life. When you're deep in a canyon of struggle, that meadow is incredibly appealing because it looks attainable. Just be careful not to get stuck in the meadow of pleasant. Don't build your house there because while it seems comfortable today, when you're staring up at the mountain peaks tomorrow, the pleasant meadow will start to become a deep valley.</div>

<div>Several months back, we were debating what types of scales to purchase for our trucks. The two options: conventional pit scales; or inexpensive high efficient weigh-in-motion scales. We ended up going with the old-school scales we have used for years. Even though we needed more of them to handle our traffic and they are more expensive, we chose the conventional scales because of project risk.<br><br>Weigh-in-motion is tricky on the software side of terminal interchanges. The biggest stumbling block is determining which truck the weights belong to. Weigh-in-motion is possible, just a little more complicated. There was a risk in developing something new, something more efficient. Risk the project would fall on its ass and a chance that the development group might be embarrassed. So we shut that option down and went with the expensive conventional scales - the safe choice. <br><br>A week ago, the scale manufacturer called to say “we’re going to be several months late.” In one email late in the afternoon, the safe option just became the highest risk element of the project.<br><br>Where should project risk lie? I believe all risk should lie internally, or as much of it as possible. You can control internal processes and projects. You can’t control third parties. Internal risk means you are aware of the problems and deep in the nitty-gritty of fixing them - coming up with a better solution. When the risk is pushed to a vendor, you are blissfully unaware of any problems until the project slips months or fails entirely.<br><br>There is inherent risk in life. A life without risk isn’t a life worth living. Project managers make their living on trying to eliminate risk. No risk means no growth. And even though the external option feels safer, it can be much riskier than internal risk. </div>

<div>Thinking about intentionality a lot lately. I am thinking about my day looking at the things I do and I wonder why my time disappears. I need to think about what the intended outcome of a task before I do it. Looking at real estate listings: going to put of offer on a house or just wasting time? Trying to build a new software: deploy and share or get bored and quit? Meetings at work: accomplish a task or waste an hour?<br><br>Looking at how I have spent my day, I am not surprised I accomplished nothing. I spent it on a myriad of tasks to make myself seem busy but got very little accomplished. I wonder how my day would look if I went into a task or conversation with a clear end goal or outcome?

<div>When I get fixated on not doing something, I do it more. Like breaking a bad habit or getting up early to exercise. The more I think it’s over, “should I or should I not” and then justify the (bad) decision I make from there. By saying don’t eat that whole bag of potato chips, you’re setting yourself up to eat the whole damn bag. Instead say what you’re going to do. I’m going to have a handful of chips and then if I’m still hungry have some carrots.<br><br>This is even more true with things we seek comfort in, like food. After eating too many chips when you say don’t, you’ve proven a promise to yourself. Then you feel guilty and seek comfort in it more. It’s a viscous cycle.<br><br>Instead focus on what you can do instead when trying to make a change. You’ll feel better for it and be more successful in your endeavors. </div>

<div>I have been thinking a lot about waste these last few days, like how to profit from it.<br><br>In every process water is created - a tremendous amount. Anytime something is created, multiple more things come from it. Byproducts of manufacturing (or creating in general), old parts and equipment that has worn out, you name it. Smart companies make money of this waste - efficiency sometimes, pure profit others.<br><br>Take Waste Management, they charge to take your trash and put it in a recycle or land fill as their primary method of business. All that trash produces methane - a byproduct of waste (is waste’s waste) and rather than waste it, it’s captured and converted into clean electricity. It’sa whole new business from a previously wasted byproduct.<br><br>Ships do this too. Ships engines produce an immense amount of heat, a boiler sits on top of the engine and steam is created.

<div>West Coast container ports are at all-time levels of congestion. As of writing 28 ships are at anchor and waiting for a berth in Los Angeles/Long Beach and another 7 are expected to anchor the next few days. This is nothing new though. Port congestion both for truckers and vessels have been massive issues in the past. During contract negotiations, busy holiday seasons impacted inland logistics networks and more mean backups across the ocean. It is time we reimagine our port infrastructure.</div><div><br></div><div>The concept of maritime trade is simple. Cargo is loaded at one hub and discharged at another hub where it's sent across a network of another hub and spoke logistics systems. The transportation industry revolves around this hub and spoke system - because it’s incredibly efficient. Shipowners can take advantage of economies of scale by building bigger ships and maximize their volume while minimizing labor costs and needless legs of a voyage. Ports and terminals can take advantage of these economies of scale in a similar way too. These large hubs are extremely efficient in their concept however, during times of congestion and industry growth they show their underside.</div><div><br></div><div>The modern port and terminal are confined by three primary constraints: cranes, intermodal connections, land.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Cranes:</strong></div><div>Terminals can only receive ships that can fit under their cranes. As ships grow, cranes must grow. This is a multifaceted endeavor though. Ships can be built larger in a matter of months. In large part, they only require a little more steel and engineering to grow. Cranes at terminals require years of planning, permitting, civil infrastructure work, and more just to bring a larger crane in.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Intermodal connections:</strong></div><div>Seaports are largely held hostage by their inland connections. Marine terminals rely on truckers and trains to collect import cargo and remove it from the terminal and deliver it to inland customers. As the train and truck networks become congested, the ability for terminals to clear out their inventories of import cargo is directly affected.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Land:</strong></div><div>Marine terminals are stuck with the land they have. Because terminals are in large port cities and because of urban sprawl, they cannot continue to acquire more land for their operations. Terminals are left to improve operational efficiency (entirely dependent on the trucking community and rail) and become more and more creative with their container stacking operations. Simply put, a marine terminal can only process so many containers through their facility before a service failure occurs.</div><div><br></div><div>With international trade growth and logistics networks becoming more and more stressed, it's time we re-think the current hub and spoke system of logistics.</div>

<div>My biggest flaw... I get too excited to start something and don’t always see it through and I start something new and don’t finish the previous. <br><br>For example all in the same week:</div><ul><li>Get an idea for an app and start to build</li><li>Get an idea for a blog and spin it up and buy a domain</li><li>Get another idea for a separate app and start to build (I’m good at typing rails new)</li><li>Idea for a paper - start writing</li><li>Idea for blog post - type</li><li>Idea for website - hop on carrd</li><li>And on</li></ul><div>And I do all of that in a shotgun approach. Nothing gets actually accomplished.<br><br>I am working to move to actually accomplish tasks and doing them in a specified order of hard to easy, and completing one task before another. Like an ordered list, not the unordered one of chaos above.<br><br>For the time being:</div><ol><li><del>Complete paper on gate</del> (<a href="https://blog.seferos.com/concept-streamlined-truck-auto-gate-process/">https://blog.seferos.com/concept-streamlined-truck-auto-gate-process/</a>)</li><li><del>Finish build on money app and share </del><a href="https://getmana.app">https://getmana.app</a></li><li><del>Write a quick blog post on seahorse system / LASH</del></li><li><del>Get course v compass up and running </del><a href="https://coursevcompass.com">https://coursevcompass.com</a></li><li>Write paper / post on RTG reefers bus bar, auto plug</li><li>Write paper / post on cf cans and bulk can</li><li>Move blog.seferos.com to be the main site</li><li>Finish bye-bye EDI on carrd</li><li>Write a paper on edi vs api</li><li>Talk to industry contacts about uses of freight automation software and desire.
