So… my cat Phyllis peed on some clothes on the floor in my bedroom. I trusted you Phyllis, I fed you and protected you from the dog, and this is how you repay me?

- Total number of images
- Total file size
- Individual details: URL, resolution & file size

I’m at 98/100 in my remote Physical Geography course at Minnesota North college, I could quit now and get a 70% or C grade. The temptation is real.

I was playing Nick Harrison’s “Art Official Soul” on Spotify and my wife said “how dare you bring that into my house.”
For those who don’t know, it’s 100% AI-generated covers of songs done in an old-school soul style.
I said “but does it sound good?” And her response? “I don’t care.”
Fatality.

See, I knew there must have been a greater purpose in making ChatGPT widely available to the unwashed masses like me. How else would I have learned this nugget of traditional Chinese medicine?

Just fired up the Zed editor for the first time. I like it so far. Ported over my MCP settings and configured it to use Shopify’s internal AI proxies, and it’s cooking.

I am really loving the Rust language. I like how it forces me to be technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. And it’s not so hard, really. I thought so back before I learned Typescript and a little C#, but now I realize the difficulty for me was always types, coming from Python and JS

My one college class that I’m enrolled in hangs over me every week. Just like in days of yore, I put it off until the last minute and cram it through at the last second.
Never change, Dan. Never change.
