If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I am all about Claude these days except when it comes to generating images. A few weeks ago, ChatGPT dropped a new image generator – and it’s outstanding, better than its old image generator and even better than Nano Banana. I use it to […]

This woman changed my life in 1994. I was an absolutely miserable accountant, failing at every job I’d had, when I called my friend Deb Bennett.
