Creativity may begin in a box, but the best creators learn to fold down the sides.—TheTEKnologist.com
Creativity might start in a box, but the best creators know how to break down those walls. Sometimes the world seems round, but other times it feels like we're all stuck in a square, trying to fit in. We hear “think outside the box” a lot, but let's be real: most of us are working within limits we can't change. The trick is learning to make that box work for us.

There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion. —Francis Bacon
I have a thing for odd numbers, even a little OCD. They’re just more interesting—unbalanced, a little unpredictable.
Odd numbers are the system’s way of embracing controlled chaos. They introduce asymmetry—just enough to make things resilient, interesting, or memorable. Like a glitch that makes the pattern more real.
There’s beauty in things that don’t quite resolve and things that do, oddly, and I love that. :)

Technology alone doesn’t drive progress — people + tech do. I think hard-earned human wisdom paired with intelligent tools like AI will be unstoppable. —The TEKnologist
For years, technology favored the fast, the young, the fluent.
But everything is changing.
With the rise of AI, the playing field is shifting.
The advantage isn’t in knowing the tools—it’s in knowing what matters.
Life experience. Perspective. Judgment.
These aren’t soft skills anymore — when combined with AI, they’re superpowers.

When my daughter was little, I'd say, “Nothing's impossible—just stuff we haven't figured out yet.”
“Impossible” is just fear talking. We get scared of what we don't know. Life isn't split into possible and impossible; it's more about what we know and what we're still learning.
As Arthur C. Clarke wisely said:
“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.”
So when I’m thinking about all the things in life that seem impossible, I remind myself: we’ll get there—we just haven’t figured it out yet.

In this TED Talk, Will AI Make Us the Last Generation to Read and Write?, Caleb Everett presents a thought-provoking discussion on what I believe is an inevitable shift in our society.
As someone who has always been more visual, I don't personally find this evolution uncomfortable, but I recognize that many might. Paradoxically, Everett touches on a feeling I can relate to—guilt over not picking up a traditional book and instead consuming content via audio or video.
While I don’t believe reading and writing will disappear entirely, I do think they may become skills reserved for a small percentage of society, much like how literacy was once limited to the elite.
