Robots and artificial intelligence are part of our daily routine. Algorithms influence everything from what we see in our feed to where we go out for dinner and drinks. We have apps that make creative decisions, like choosing the best photos from our camera roll, but will robots ever replace creative professionals?

AND HOORAY! I’m Kermit-the-Frog-YAY excited about my new theme song, composed and performed by the mysterious Breakmaster Cylinder.

Subscribe to, Rate and Review us on iTunes Additional Show Notes TedLeonhardt.com David C. Baker’s Recourses.com Blair Enns’ WinWithoutPitching.com Wayzgoose according to Wikipedia The derivation of the term is doubtful. It may be a misspelling for “wasegoose”, from wase, Middle English for “sheaf”, thus meaning “sheaf” or “harvest goose“, a bird eaten at harvest-time, cf. the “stubble-goose” mentioned by Chaucer in The Cook’s Prologue. The most likely origin is the word “Weg(s)huis”, which was current in early Modern Dutch.[citation needed] This word (literally, “way house”) was one of several words meaning the English “inn” and was figuratively used for “a banquet”. The Low Country origin of the word “wayzgoose” has never seriously been disputed by etymologists, seeing that much early chapel terminology was borrowed from Low Country printers by their English apprentices (and later journeymen). The variety of spellings and pronunciations (including with and without the “z”) indicate that it is an orally-borrowed Dutch word that fit somewhat uneasily in the mouth of English speakers. Another plausible origin is a more general word for a merry-making or feast, reputedly referring to the grand goose-feast annually held at Waes, in Brabant, at Martinmas. However that is pronounced quite differently, as “Waas”. It apparently means “cloud-veil” in Dutch: also there are no places called Waes or Waas in Brabant, but there are several places with “Waes” in their name in East Flanders.

Dave and Dan talk about about what led Dan to Adobe, that funny tool called Slack, the history of East LA, the importance of swagger, an index card dropped from the beak of a bird, salmon or asparagus or babies in headlines, being comfortable with different working styles, and more, plus a special shout-out from Creative Mornings Seattle.
