I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.

I'm excited to announce I'm going to be running a four-week remote workshop on creating interactive fiction with #bitsy starting at the end of September! Games created in the workshop will be featured in an exhibition at Accent Sisters in New York, with whom I'm partnering on this project!

Every tech update now is like: "Great news, the word processor you've relied on for twenty years has learned to juggle! Is it good at it? No! Does it help in any way? Of course not! Has it made it insufferable to use? Oh, absolutely."

There's special punishment in being someone who finds self-promotion not just difficult as a concept but also painful. "Oh, just sell yourself and be super confident at what you do!"

Easy.

Anyway, I *am* great at what I do, so do you know anyone who needs my help?

Tesla robotaxis swerving into the wrong lane and driving over the speed limit have already caught the eye of federal regulators, as @kirstenkorosec.bsky.social uncovered.

And in two instances, a robotaxi suddenly hit the breaks near police vehicles in adjacent parking lots.

Big tech companies such as Dell, Google, Microsoft, and Red Hat are spending millions this week to hold their tech conferences. Let me summarize their news for you: AI is great! They should have gotten together for one gigantic show—AI is Great!-- and saved a ton of cash. I'm just saying!

We've been fighting this battle for decades. The next shiny new toy comes out that will fix everything, and everyone rushes to prove they are innovating. Not to mention names, but AI (cough cough) is now in that boat, AI will fix everything, just implement something in it, anything....
