Happy Easter

Ai image generators can sometimes miss the mark and be frustrating to use, other times, they do amazing. This Easter image was generated with Ai and it’s fantastic. It’s everything I hoped it would be. Look how adorable, and a bit crazy, he looks. It didn’t turn out right the first time, but after some […]

Where’s Waldo – Ai Edition

I asked Bing’s Image Creator to create me an Easter themed Where’s Waldo, and, as it turns out, it’s not that hard to find Waldo. It looks like Ai doesn’t quite understand what Where’s Waldo is. I thought I was providing a good prompt, but every image always had Waldo front and center. Here’s what […]

Easily block ads and trackers with NextDNS

If you’re online, you’re being tracked. Every site you visit, every video you watch, every location you go, they’ll be tracking you. They can track you in ways you don’t even realize. That’s why I started down a privacy path. First up, NextDNS. I’ve been researching ways to stop all the intrusive tracking that sites […]

This year’s pumpkin crop.

I’ve been trying for years to grow a good crop of pumpkins, and this year’s the best yet. We picked 18 pumpkins, most of which are small and medium-sized. There are still three green pumpkins growing, and those look to be the biggest of the bunch. Each year, I do a bit better. This year, […]

Say Hello To Sharky and Plinko

Sharky is one of our newest pets. Lily and her boyfriend won him at the Delano 4th of July carnival. I held off on posting anything as I didn’t know how long he’d live. It turns out, he’s doing great. Sharky first lived in a 2 gallon tank that we borrowed from the neighbor. Then […]
