Interested in voice dictation?

If you're on an Apple Silicon Mac, give this a try. It's open source, free, and private. Everything you say stays on your machine, nothing goes to the cloud.

I type about 40 to 45 words a minute. I talk at 170 to 180. If you write a lot, that math adds up fast.

What sets it apart from Apple's built-in dictation is a second step. After it transcribes your speech, a small AI model running locally on your Mac cleans up the grammar and punctuation. The result reads like you typed it instead of like you talked at your computer.

I've been using it for a while and it's become my default.

Most companies haven't figured out AI yet. That's your opening.
A new Resume Now survey of 1,000+ workers just handed every business owner a roadmap:

• 41% say their employer has given them nothing to prepare them to use AI at work
• Only 21% have clear, role-specific guidelines
• 76% are already using AI tools they found on their own to get real work done

Read that last number again. Your people aren't resisting AI. They're already leaning in, on their own time, with whatever they can find. The talent and the appetite are already in the building.

That's the unfair advantage hiding in plain sight. While most companies sit on the sidelines, the ones who move now get a workforce that's faster, sharper, and building skills their competitors won't have for years.

This is the same shift we've ridden before with computers, email, and smartphones. The companies that went first didn't just keep up. They set the pace.

What's your (X)? Let us help you to create the Unfair Advantage!

A new Resume Now report finds the “bring your own AI (BYOAI)” trend is growing as employees adopt AI faster than employers provide guidance & support.

Steve Jobs called the computer "a bicycle for the mind" — back in 1980, when Apple was four years old.

46 years later, Apple turns 50. And that idea has never been more relevant.

AI is the next bicycle. Except this one moves at the speed of light.
Most organizations are trying to paint AI onto the outside of the way they already work — and wondering why it doesn't stick.

The ones pulling ahead figured out something different.

I wrote about it. Worth 5 minutes of your day.

👇

You don't need to buy a system or paint your company with magic AI paint. You need to empower your people to use this superpower — and create an advantage your competitors can't close.

Just listened to this episode with Jensen Huang and found it genuinely insightful.

It does a great job of putting today’s AI conversation into perspective, not just what it is, but where it’s going and what that means for all of us.

A few takeaways that stood out:
• AI is shifting from answering questions to actually helping get real work done
• The scale of growth is massive, with compute and usage increasing at a pace most people underestimate
• We’re still early, and many of the biggest applications like healthcare, robotics, and biology are just starting to take shape
• The real opportunity is learning how to work alongside these tools, not resist them

What I appreciated most is how practical the conversation is. Less hype, more clarity about the direction things are heading.

Worth a listen if you’re trying to better understand the opportunity ahead 👇

If you walked past this, you probably wouldn’t think twice about it.

But this scale is part of a project to automate parcel and LTL shipping, and it ended up playing a key role in simplifying the process.

Less manual entry. Fewer errors. Faster flow.

It’s a good reminder that most improvements don’t come from reinventing everything. They come from tightening up the small steps and making them work better together.

This is the kind of work that quietly makes everything run better.

Appreciate Siouxland Scale Service for the hardware and support.
