Hi, I’m Chris

I make websites and things. Lately, I’ve been experimenting a lot with Large Language Models (colloquially known as AI) to test their capabilities and to help make my job and D&D Dungeon Mastering life easier. Feel free to click around to learn more about stuff I like to do and/or am working on.

  • writing

    so there’s a couple people in the world that know that i’m writing again.  something big.  and something that won’t end up another unfinished project that sits in my sidebar and stares at me.  it goes like this: erin reads the twilight series.  we netflix the first movie.  i am reminded of what i like about vampire…

  • now in penguin-vision

    i’ve been a longtime fan and occasional user of linux.  i had it running for about a  year as my primary operating system under ubuntu.  microsoft announced the release of their windows 7 RC-1 the other day, and as part of the announcement stated that all of their beta testers, whether you’re using win 7 beta…

  • anti spam an email address

    class=”aligncenter” so, on the web, it’s pretty much accepted that whatever you put out there can and will be used by someone somewhere, sometimes exploitively.  one way this can cause frustration and headaches is putting your email address on your site.  now, some people (including myself) have started doing this myemail @ mydomain . com…

  • spicy aztec coffee

    we’ve been out of (flavored) creamer, so i invented this.  i’ve decided it’s awesome. 2 heaping tsp Lake Champlain Spicy Aztec Hot Chocolate (if you needed to, the Allegro Mayan Drinking Chocolate that you can get from Whole Foods would probably work) Coffee (maybe slightly less than you’d usually pour into your cup) Creamer/Milk/Half & Half (i think this…

  • ben bernanke revisited

    all this swine flu crap is depressing.  that’s why i thought it was high time to resurrect ben bernanke.   you tall glass of water, spencer.  i’m going to kiss you.  on the lips.

  • random bollywood with even more random subtitles

    this comes courtesy of the engrish brog.  i hadn’t seen it before but it’s got over 12 million views, apparently, so a lot of people have.  it’s effing hi-larious.  i love bollywood.

  • twitter is so passe. flutter: the next next big thing

    alternately, as a flap: twit = old. flttr rawks.

  • gwozdziec, stall

    i realize that i have hit a stall on the gwozdziec project.  part of that has been due to technical difficulties — a couple of the times i tried to do stuff my computer decided not to output any sound from those applications.   but the main part is that i’ve gotten bored with the…

  • Ada Lovelace Day

    So, for Ada Lovelace Day, I am going to write about an unsung tech heroine close to my heart, my wife, erin.  erin is my biggest source of artistic inspiration.  she is an incredible visual artist (just check out erin’s sketchbook), and had to make quite an adjustment to adapt to web technology like we were committed…

  • musings on effective branding

    i passed by a billboard this morning on the way to whole foods that said something about build your brand and it made me think about effective branding and what that really means. “branding” is the new buzz-term in internet marketing lingo.  it applies just as much to your corporate identity as it does to…
