Why put a label on it?
I am (one of) the Roger's Park whistle fairy. 125 custom printed whistles given out at local businesses so far.

Well that's news to me. My 6th grade civics teacher must've taught some other countries constitution.

Customized batch with an (in progress) PRP logo.
Handing out around the neighborhood as soon as it's ready.

Well, now it has AI inside the AI builder preview.

Because I don't know how else I'm gonna get telnet over Lora on my Tdeck Plus firmware done.

Local models are actually pretty good now.
Screenshot of a "chore scanner" prototype using Google's Gemma 3n E2B model to scan for household chores.

Takes everything my pixel 8 has to process this single image but, this could be an interesting prototype!

My 1st grader and I put together a little webgame with a little (ok a lot) of help from Claude. Now he's interested in learning more about game-dev and programming!

Made with MatterJs + P5.js and Claude Code.

So invading the Capitol building is kosher but, wearing a mask to a pro-democracy sit-in will get you federal time.
What's the remedy for this when protest matters so little to the governing class?

Playing around with the NUFORC UFO sightings dataset.
So California sees a lot of Ufos, most out of any state with 16k reported.
Don't know why this surprised me.

Completely worthwhile, necessary use of my time...

Given the conversation around deepseek's censorship of CCP related subjects, Tiananmen Square, Tibet, etc.
I thought it'd be interesting to dig into western model's "no go" subjects.
Might do a bit more to "decompile" what's been trained in..

Do I know what I'll do with a database of Chicago city business tagged with the neighborhood? Nope. Am I glad I learned spatial queries to build it? Yep!

Merged data.cityofchicago.org/Community-Ec... and data.cityofchicago.org/Facilities-G...

Next step, analyze common license classes by area.

I'm sure this has a very reasonable and benign explanation.

This does not bring me joy.

I did a little amateur data sleuthing to see what the numbers say about the latest Faux News "The fires are DEI" outrage bait.

Spoiler alert: White males still take home the lion's share.
