Excited to be seeing The Bearded Company and their improvised D&D campaign tonight.
Just finished watching Dropship, in which seven random earthlings just came out of Cryo, before the big battle on Titan with acid spitting aliens who are very good at keeping their food fresh.
It was very good.

I had the privilage of attenting the Ars Electronica Digital Arts Festival lin Linz Austria back in 2005.
They brought one of his beasts to the town square and he was there chatting with folks and answering questions.
It was relatively small compared to some, but big enough to be impressive.

Interesting. I was using Dalle3 on the OpenAI site. I made multiple attemps with a prompt along the lines of:
"Black cartoon dragon working on a computer."
I tried multiple times and every time the image was cropped, I tried including "without cropping" or something similar in some of the requests.
I will have to try again. Thinking of upgrading my account soon so I have more freedom to experiment.

Slimy sharp toothed man with split personality and many pocketses, looking for LTR with petite "precious" ring.
Enjoys fishing, swimming in murky swamps, solving riddles, and romatic strolls through the Mines of Moria.

Recently watching episodes of british quiz show Would I Lie To You. It's pretty hilarious and a go to option when I need a sure fire laugh out loud experience.

Settling in after back to back conferences. Twin Cities Drupal Camp and then Backdrop LIVE. Both went really well and I hope I'm able to sustain the energy I got from participating in these events, after recovering from the lack of sleep.
#BackdropCMS #Drupal #TCDrupal #BackdropLIVE
Twin Cities Drupal Camp is officially over for this year. Thanks to everyone who helped organize and everyone that participated.
Loved the mix of traditional presentations and unconference time. We had such excellent discussions.

I'm hearing a lot of hate towards the Obe Wan Kenobi show when folks are talking about Ahsoka. This is surprising to me, since I kinda liked that series, certainly more than the Mandalorian.
I may need to watch Obe Wan Kenobi again, to see if I'm remembering it wrong. Then again, it's not surprising to me that my opinions are different from everyone elses. It's a curse/superpower that I have.

I'm having trouble with quite a few things.
Like going out and standing on the wing of a spaceship to fight attacking fighters with a light saber?
Sigh...
Has anyone heard how the BBC experiment with the Fediverse is going?
I subscribed to all of their available feeds at launch, but am not seeing any BBC content in my feed.

I'm often tempted to reply to or refute folks with views I consider overly pessimistic or unnecessarily discouraging. I know better.
Making an effort to simply seek out and share more information about people doing good things in the world, organizations working for positive change, and interesting ideas to make the work a better place.
Any good hashtags to follow for this kind of info?
Here are some I've found.

#hope

I heard mixed things about the Wheel of Time S2, but I'm liking it so far. It is a complicated story and hard to track all the players. I think it helps that I read the books (I've forgotten details, but even vague memories help).

Is it ok to be optimistic about climate change?
"Adopting optimism — even in gritty, dissatisfied form — might feel like denying the seriousness of the climate crisis. ..
Personally, I worry that a hopeful outlook is a slippery slope to complacency. I struggle with my own competing convictions — a cynical view that those in power won’t act quickly enough and a counter-belief that optimism might be the most effective way to advance solutions."

@eaaa461f of the Hard Forked podcast recently mentioned that he is currently obsessed with this note-taking app. Curious if anyone else has heard of it?
I'm testing it now, seems to be only webbased with possibly a beta mobile version.

It's been a while since I've checked out a new note taking app. What are people usng today?
My most recent experiments were with Joplin, an opensource note-taking app that shows promise, but just hasn't been working for me.
Thoughts?

While I understand that this whale is not really a threat. I still think that I'd be reaching for a life jacket about this point.
Just in case.
