Puppy papa for Chloe & Cooper, CTO & Co-founder at Red Iron Labs - XR developer, game creator and resident geek :) I like double spaces. I like mismatched socks. I use, so, many, commas...

...and like making creative things.
Found a fantastic example of #shrinkflation the other day (thanks #postconsumerbrands)

... I used to love my honey bunches of oats. Also, although better for health in the world, is 1/3 of a box still considered "family size"? Hmmm...

So this happened to my car yesterday. 28 seconds after we got out of it and into the house. Thankfully everyone is OK - wishing and hoping everyone stays safe this long weekend. #accident #drivers #calgary

Just a friendly reminder, to watch out for Snow Manatees.

Spending the evening at the #deerfootinn&casino for #muaythai fights, cheering for my trainer #kellyherrtwich

Muay Thai is pretty new to me, I come from more if a boxing background. Awesome fighters today.

Having a blast with the #CGDA and learning about #indie #gamedev challenges and opportunities from @iaalberta.bsky.social

Please don't mind my terrible photos, I blame my phone :D

Round 2, working with my second g1 gweike laser engraver #art #crafting

I am seeing some potential here for sure :)

I also redesigned the runestones to have a darker texture and brighter characters, and etched a tree of life on the back.

I asked #gemini how people would feel about it being added to #gmail.

Yes #google #AI developers knew their tool would be intrusive and tried to code around it. But a lazy second prompt shows even Gemini knows this itself...

And, my topology (left image) is a lot cleaner (3K vs 10K) with a bone rig, individual parts. And that was without me really cleaning it up. But still.

Also, keep in mind, the other 2 characters I tried were completely unusable. It seems to do a lot better with boxy robots.

Messin with #AI image-to-3D generator, to see how it would create #murderbears characters (versus how I did).

Attached is the reference image from the artist, my 3D model, theirs, their topology

I converted a bunch - this one was the best of the bunch

It actually wasn't completely terrible

This is what I was doing today. I think it is better without any context.

Okay, I think this is the surprise winner. Dark brotherhood etched aluminum cards.

Oh yes, this is fun indeed.

Finally dipped into laser engraving, very interesting indeed!

Next I'm going to try making some imperial coins :D

... also, how I ended up making a bunch of memes instead of finishing the work I was "supposed" to do.

True story, I did this my first week as a developer at a startup...

after being told 3 times to make sure to learn git #gamedev and saying "leave me alone Satan!"

I didn't cut back the beard... but I did get to do a radio spot today, which was pretty cool!
