Testing out the video creation on my Google Gemini AI subscription. I'll likely never use it, but I'm very impressed with the output.
Prompt was: "Make a video of two basset puppies running towards the camera in slow motion with a doghouse behind them being destroyed by a fiery explosion."

I think it might be interesting when android AI agents are commonplace. I can imagine me, with one of my (teenage) nieces, as I'm eating sardines and ask my robot aide for a cracker.
Me: AidBot, I need something.
Bot: What would you like?
Me: A saltine.
Bot: (attacks niece)

I've been watching the latest season of Reacher on Amazon Prime with the much, much better half. Two episodes to go and there's just one question that hasn't been addressed yet.
Does the main character refer to his bullets as Reacher rounds?

I don't think I've ever shared this here. If I have, please forgive me. I'm old and tend to repeat myself. Also, I'm old and tend to repeat myself.

If you're a word nerd who chuckles at puns and wordplay, take a peek at my site, fauxcabulary.org! I share a new term from the homepage here many days.
Be sure to check out my gallery for bad drawings of #fauxcabulary terms, too!

In this world of division and conflict, I believe I've finally found a topic that everyone can rally behind. Something to unite us all. The polling results are still coming in, but so far it's been very consistent! #lysdexicsuntie

Spent the weekend making sites for 11 of my parked domains. I intend them all to be living projects, but wanted to get something other than a 404 page up on GitHub Pages. Jekyll to Eleventy.

Avoiding work this morning. Working on the rewrite of my gamedevutils.com website (again). Messing with implementing the site logic in NodeJS for command-line use in #gamedev build pipelines. Lots of backing tests. Happy with the code so far.

If you're a #wordnerd (and you ARE one if you enjoy #fauxcabulary), you're short-changing yourself if you don't play the NYT's Wordle daily.
While you wait for the next day's play, play my clone of Wordle, Word Nerd... as often as you like!

Did a little tinkering with the Affinity Designer vector app; Testing some ideas for quickly creating variants of monsters for a game idea.
I drew the little dude in gray, then I placed a semi-transparent color layer on top. A bit of work initially, but super fast to vary them.
