    I have been stepping up my coffee game lately. we have a fun little coffee station setup in this house and I actually have fun cups to use now. My first 🍅 break every morning is almost always dedicated to making myself a fun cup.

    Disc golfin’ today

    I’m currently crawling around some of my older blogs and compiling it on my personal site. It’s fun to look back at some of the projects I’ve worked on in the past, particularly my old stuff from my freelance mechanical engineering days, and my days working in the craft beer niche. Maybe I can even get my Gimp tutorial content on here, too. That’d be super rad.

    Surely my most significant contribution to WordPress is the number of ASCII art AT-ATs I added above pretty much every Walker class I had to create when making menus 😅.

    Welp, with what’s being shared around about Hostinger, seems like a good time to mention rule number 1 of Affiliate Marketing – Affiliate links are not okay without getting consent or knowledge from the reader, and they’re definitely not okay on a platform you don’t own.

    The interface is coming along. There’s still a lot I want to do to improve this screen (filters, search, etc), but as a barebones starting point with fully-supported CRUD operations, I’m pleased with the results.

    A Nerdy Note – There’s a lot going on under the hood, here. This app is platform agnostic, so it can be changed to run as a mobile app instead – with complete extensibility of the interface from the server. I’ll get into how all of that works someday.

    I just realized that the “What if” machine from Tales of Interest in Futurama 100% exists now. It’s called “AI” 😂

    I’ve been taking a lot of notes using Obsidian lately. One of the things I like to do is add keywords (not tags, just keywords) so that different notes will come up more intuitively in search in the future. This has proven to be something that ChatGPT can help do exceptionally well, using this prompt:

    Create as many keywords for this as you can think of to help me find it in search later. separate each keyword with a comma.

    Daaaang all this snow melt has my truck looking shiiiiiiiiiny.

    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.
