- [In memory of Alan Sprints. An extraordinary man and legendary brewer](https://christinejump.com/in-memory-of-alan-sprints/): Alan was a kind an generous man.

- [Introducing AI with Christine Jump](https://christinejump.com/introducing-ai-with-christine-jump/): I’ve spent 40 years getting good at running operations, managing projects, creating content, and building digital systems.Then I realized most of it shouldn’t need me anymore. So I’m rebuilding my work around AI—not theory, not hype. Just tools that actually remove busywork. I’m calling it “Practical AI with Christine Jump”.I will be sharing what I test, what saves time, and what fails quietly in the corner. The goal is simple: Automate the boring 90% so there’s space for the work (and life) that matters. If you could hand one task to AI tomorrow, what would it be? Post it in a […]

- [Designing with AI](https://christinejump.com/designing-with-ai/): I had so much fun applying AI tools to graphic design work.

- [My Beloved Finn](https://christinejump.com/my-beloved-finn/): August 31, 2017-April 21, 2024 I lost my beloved Finn in the wee hours of April 21st, 2024. He came into my life at 1 year old. A 100 pound blue Doberman. A goofball, cuddle bug, sweetheart that loved everyone and was strangely indifferent to all dogs except my senior Dobie Liam. Finn idolized Liam, imitated Liam, and played so sweetly and gently with him. His weakness was squirrels and cats. I’d barracaded my floor to ceiling windows because he’d throw himself against them when he saw a squirrel outside. Repaired the fence constantly because he’d loose himself in the hunt […]
- [Finn's prognosis](https://christinejump.com/finns-prognosis/): April 20, 2024 Finn had been suffering for a full day from what I thought was constipation. I’d treated him with a TTouch technique used for colicky horses that has been successful for him over the too few years that he and I were together. But not this time. Throughout the day he’d been drinking water, so I continued to apply the TTouch and monitor him. By the time he showed me that he was in trouble, and I realized this wasn’t just another instance of constipation, he’d become severly dehydrated and his heart was slowing. The vet said he would […]

- [Designing with AI](https://christinejump.com/kona-coffee-labels/): AI design I was asked to create labels for Black Rock Farm’s Kona Coffee. Grown and roasted on the big island.
