Howdy!

Thanks for stopping by! I’m glad you’re here.

This site, much like me, is kind of a mess. Basically, I like to write stuff. This is where I put it. There’s a bit more to it, though.

I have a theory that if even one person checks back to this site regularly to see what’s new, I’ll have no choice but to write something. Anything. That’s what I need to be doing.

Every once in a while I come across something that I just really want. Recently, CASIO announced a special edition Stranger Things watch. I absolutely don’t need it. The watch on my wrist has lasted me for years and will likely outlive me. But...I really want that watch.

Things like that are distracting. I’ve been getting distracted a lot lately. If you want to see an excellent example of me being very distracted, read my latest blog post detailing my never ending descent into the rabbit hole that is AI. It involves such geeky stuff as ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, and the generative fill feature in the beta version of Photoshop. Like I said. Distracted. Very, very distracted. As an afterthought, I’ve placed some links in the "My Notebook" section regarding AI so that you, too, can be distracted.

In addition to the blog post, I’ve added a section called “Stuff Nobody Wanted,” where I will post various things that I’ve written that have not proven useful. I started with a very short story that I submitted years ago for a writing contest. I’ll add more stuff over time.

That’s about it for today. Hopefully, it won’t be another six months before my next update.
