    The biggest thing that AI is changing for me? I want EVERYTHING as a markdown file. It’s portable, easy to read, easy to enhance, and easy to parse, both for me and AI.

    Heck, even creating an index of the content is easier than ever with things like ChromaDB.

    It is ready to print! The final overall dimensions is about 13″ tall x 5.5″ wide x 11″ deep. If I would have splurged on a mini ATX motherboard I could have made it a lot smaller – probably 8″tall x 5.5″ wide x 8″ deep. But I wanted WiFi 6 and more for less money 😂.

    I scrapped my entire media center build design and started over. After doing some research, I got some ideas for a much better design approach that makes it easier to assemble, maintain, modify, and print.

    I started over in FFXIV last night. I needed a game that didn’t feel like another project. Something that took me on a journey.

    And I couldn’t resist creating an emo Lalafell named Adam Smoltier. 🤣

    I’m gonna say the thing out loud – Most affiliate programs suck.

    People hype them as money-printing machines, but most just drain resources, waste time, and barely boost sales.

    There’s a better way.

    I’ve come to find that telling AI to “stop being clever and just say the damn thing” seems to be very effective at getting better heading copy 😂

    My home media center is ready to print! Going to take several days to get it printed and together, and I’ll probably have to re-print something but it’s time to start makin’ parts!

    A handy little not-so-commonly known trick for getting a centerline between holes using calipers.

    I un-wittingly re-invented tea this week.

    “I want an inexpensive beverage that isn’t necessarily sweet, but is kinda fruity and something I can easily drink throughout the day that will make water interesting.”

    “Maybe I can steep some fruit overnight in a jar and fill up some water bottles to put in my fridge…that sounds good, and is 1/100th the cost of Vitamin water!”

    “Oooh! I know! I can add a single tea bag to the jar to add a little more to it!”

    “Hmm…I need to filter this now. What should I use? I Know! My Tea kettle!”

    “…oh.”
