    I’ve been having some fun using AI to help me create a mascot for my affiliate program start guide. I’m really loving how much more fun it makes my landing page, compared to stock images of people. It’s a great way to prototype a character.

    I might make everyone into mermaids on this site.

    Actual footage of me telling ChatGPT “write me 10 different subject lines, but absolutely do not give me it in a {heading}:{description} format like you always try to do.”

    I can’t wait to fly this thing! It’s SO light, and delicate, but it’s rated at 0-15MPH wind speeds. I love my Quantum but it’s really hard to keep that thing in the air at those speeds. If you had short enough lines, you could fly this in a gymnasium.

    I’ve been using AI a lot this past year, but this is by far the best use case I’ve seen for it to-date.

    
User: Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?
Assistant: I think so, but where are we going to find a duck and a hose at this hour?
User: Perfect. Give me 10 more!
Assistant: 1. I think so, but where will we find an open tattoo parlor at this time of night?
2. I think so, but how will we teach the elephant to do the cha-cha?
3. I think so, but isn't a quiche just an omelet in a crust?
4. I think so, but can we get the penguins to form a conga line by morning?
5. I think so, but where are we going to find a pair of rubber pants our size?
6. I think so, but what kind of fuel does a time machine run on?
7. I think so, but if we get olive oil, who’s going to get Popeye?
8. I think so, but if they called them "sad meals," kids wouldn’t buy them!
9. I think so, but how will we find a mime willing to talk?
10. I think so, but do you think the fish will really grant our wishes?

    With the help of a truck driver, we got Leela delivered to our hometown in Ohio, from Texas. For those of you keeping score, that’s 2 campers down. Now we just have to get Charlie back from Vermont this summer, and we’ll be all-set. PS: Leela is SO DIRTY. WOW.

    I’m late to the VR party but I picked up a used Oculus Quest 2 on a whim over the holidays. Holy crap. Every person in this house uses that thing every single day. Super Hot, Doom VFR, Beat Saber, and Supernatural. I am really enjoying it!

    I fixed my “do not disturb” sign ????

    I think the biggest takeaway I have from our years traveling in the RV is that the world is so much smaller than you think it is. What feels like an entirely different world is usually 1-2 days away. I remember before we left, I would think “I have to go all the way to PITTSBURGH?! (2 hours away)” and now I find myself looking at the Outer Banks (9 hours away) like “I could be flying my kite on the beach before dinner today.”

    Even longer trips, such as going to Yosemite National Park, is only 3-5 days of travel by car, and I’d even get to make a pit stop to Taos on the way ????.

    Why are we still missing a “remind me later” feature for text messages? I use this kind of thing all the time in both email, and instant messaging applications. Seems like a relatively small feature that would add a lot of quality of life.
