A New Way 2025

This short video is a playful statement celebrating the next chapter in my career. After about 40 years, I’ve retired from IBM and would not do it any other way. And now, I’m starting “A New Way.” This original (quirky) video was created from over two dozen clips of AI-instructed text-to-video using Mochi 1. The audio, inspired by Charlie Brown’s teachers, was generated by training Whisper on trombone audio clips. The video abstractly captures a day in my life, set to the backing music of my band, Mind The Gap, with a song sharing the same name as the video. If you know me, you know I love walking the dogs—that’s when I think, dream, and reflect on “what’s next” and the liberating thought of “what shall I do today.” You will see abstract representations of me (round glasses, grey hair, and goatee), my wife (notice the difference in her wah, wah, wah’s versus mine), and of course my two dogs, Sheldon and Lenny. As we explore the future city, hike in the mountains, hit the beach, enjoy a round of golf with Steph, play a little bass guitar, rush to my NCSU class to teach, and run up “Rocky’s Steps” to meet my future self, surrounded by friends and family—yeah, I know it’s a bit of a stretch, but please enjoy.
