On A.I.
I've been learning and using various A.I. iterations for quite some time and I'm confident we are experiencing what some industry experts, along with myself, are describing as an Oppenheimer moment. While the current A.I. experience is fraught with bouts of "A.I. halucinations", A.I. will be seen as having a larger impact on humanity than the emergence of the internet. And that’s a critical marker. Many still remember the nearly unusable early dial-up internet years. Now look at it, and us, now.
A.I. use is growing exponentially, with people and organizations requiring professional guidance on how to integrate A.I. into their professional and personal endeavors. Don't get left behind. Similar to previous technology turning points, A.I. will create more jobs than it replaces. In 1990 there were no such things as web designers. Now top art and design schools (Parsons, RISD, NYU) offer B.F.A. programs in web/digital design.

A.I.’s current strength lies in being an assistant in your work or personal life; a productivity enabler. It’s quite good at that. It’s exceptionally good at “mathy” things (code, accounting, chemistry, etc). In my opinion it is terrible at creativity without super-detailed direction (human input). And even then the results can be ghastly. Art museums are full of results that came from deep within a human soul, or out of thin air. One needs to consider that A.I. only knows what the internet knows. It's currently incapable of any form of leadership.
At Lightblue Company I'm using A.I. for tasks like checking code (very mathy). A.I. was used to research some color theory for this site. But I made the final decision on all of the colors and design. I use A.I. to organize my vast photography library using a product called Excire. Tedium gone. However A.I. did not author any written content on this site. - November 3, 2025

About.
Ted’s technology career was born from the 1990s New York City pop and jazz music scene. Ted moved to NYC after college to pursue music industry ambitions, continuing studies with legendary drummer Kenwood Dennard (Miles Davis, Sting). As an unknown from a small coal town in Pennsylvania, his music career evolved to performing sold-out venues with members of Phish, The Psychedelic Furs, Blue Oyster Cult, guitar icons Frank Gambale (Chick Corea Elektric Band), Marty Friedman (Megadeth), and countless others.
In those years Ted also worked as a recording engineer and manager at some of New York’s top recording studios where he developed a newfound passion for all forms of media technologies (music, film, photography), mastering the early digital tools required for professional level production.
A fervent believer in “getting out at the top” (and after seeing an early demo of iTunes), Ted followed an instinct-driven migration to passions beyond music, and retired from performing in 2001. With a newly earned Master’s degree in 3D animation from NYIT (alumni include Pixar co-founder Alvy Ray Smith), Ted's technology career was born.
Ted's had quite the tech industry journey, providing leadership for film companies, internationally acclaimed NatGeo photogs, fashion icons Ralph Lauren, and Michael Kors, blockbuster Silicon Valley startup One Kings Lane, Swiss bank UBS, and so many more. Since 2023 Ted's been providing tech leadership at New York University’s world-renowned Tisch School of the Arts. In the Fall of 2025 Ted began a new chapter called Lightblue Company, a modern boutique take on technology services for small businesses and creative studios. Lightblue Company mixes traditional arts and technologies with the latest A.I. tools.
