So, is there a, like, sign-up form?

I still think about "General error - no line number" (in a 750-1000 line C++ program)

Job interview monday? I don't have a lot of good vibes about this one, but nothing ventured and all.

One of my favorite pictures is of Red. I was standing next to him and he was making the "we're number 1!" ☝️ sign - but his hand is red fur and digital cameras at the time weren't great at fine detail, so the pic reads more like a different gesture. 🤣

Wait... Ranma 1/2 is on Netflix? Let me clear my calendar.

Be the change you want to see in the world?

Before Raeburn was, well, as you see him, that was the vibe I was going for. (Without the wipe outs. My notes said something more like "90s ExTrEmE cool kid out of central casting.") Great minds and all 😎

Age verification? I taught myself to type playing infocom text adventures. The first video game I ever loved was Arkanoid on the Atari. I remember the day the Internet came home - I was in high school.

I feel a little misled my the opening credits - but I agree, an enjoyable watch.

There was an episode of The Outer Limits where all of society had implants that accessed "the stream" (internet) to which they outsourced all their learning and creative thinking.

And as I type this on my smartphone while suffering through AI training videos at work, I can't stop thinking about it.

What would you be playing/talking about?

"Return to the office" they said. "It's to help you collaborate" they said. *deep sigh*

And we've reached the "have to give myself a pep talk to get out of bed" stage of winter... 😪

This Movie Exists - HOPALONG CASSIDY YouTube video by moviebob

It stings a bit that I only saw this today, a week after I got back from a con themed around cowboys. I didn't know this story, and I got a little teary learning it. Some good inspiration in there. Well worth a watch on a snowy afternoon.

I took a few minutes to scroll through my facebook feed. That was a bad idea.

3 posts from people I care about and then an endless scroll of ai slop and right wing agitprop.

I remember being a kid discovering the internet, and I saw the potential. And somehow we let it brcome THAT. 😡

I hope that you're wrong. But some days that candle burns more dimly than others.

"Do something to celebrate being you, because you're pretty special."

Well, looks like we're in for a few snowy days. Maybe a good time to focus into a new creative project. Or, you know, sit on my tail losing myself in video games. 😅

Oh I hope not. I really really hope not.

Aaaaand the post-con depression rears its head. Darn it.

That feeling when you get recommended a really rockin song by the YouTube algorithm, look into the artist, and realize its AI. 😭😡

I sadly wasn't able to make the panel, but I am interested in the topic. If you have presentation material you're willing to share, please DM.

Taking the day after off as well for some R&R was a good idea. Much as I love conventions it's good to be back in my own bed.

2/ and a head full of IDEAS waiting to take shape. Which I will work on AFTER I get a good nights sleep.

Home safe after saying goodbye to ANE2026 - what a weekend! Debut of my suit, first fursuit photo and fursuit parade, meals and drinks with friends new and old, watching kaiju battles, and watching the entirety of It: Welcome to Derry. Many lessons learned, things to consider in the future 1/
