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.

  • 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…
