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.

  • get ready…it’s time for gwoździec!

    i threatened when i made my random album cover that i would do a full on music project based on the fake album i created.  well, i’ve decided it’s time.  get ready bitches, it’s time for gwozdziec!  in keeping with the creative commons-ness of the whole thing, i’m going to blog the progress and make…

  • 127 things i hate about designer blogs

    so, i’m really, really starting to get tired of the xx things you should ____ blog posts.  like, really f’ing tired.  usually they’re things like 22 ways to make twitter work for you or 18 tricks to monetize your blog or, if you’re a designer, 43 grunge textures or 29 photoshop brushes and vectors.  the last straw for me came tonight…

  • nu-art

    i wasn’t so sure about the artistic quality of this.  it sort of felt like some high school prank, although it was amusing in that this is that dream where everyone’s naked that no one actually ever has in real life kind of way. this, however, is genius.  i’m thinking of making an installation piece out…

  • Random Album Cover – the Creative Commons Way

    i’ve been waiting for someone to tag me on that 25 things meme, mostly because it’s come across a couple of the blogs i read, but i guess i either have no friends or everyone knows everything there is to know about me.  either way poor, poor, pitiful me.  anyway, i’m getting my revenge by…

  • ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

    so i’m working on this site which is for a Dom who crafts floggers and whips and cuffs.  and you know, part of the reason i bid on this project was because i had actually bought my first flogger from someone who was doing the same thing he was and had an online store, probably…

  • rpm update

    21 days left of RPM (which, as you recall, is the make an album in the 28 days of february competition).  the goal is to complete a full album, which is defined as 10 songs OR 35 minutes.  here’s my vitals so far: so what does this mean? it means in terms of length, i’m…

  • i know it’s all in the name of technology, but…

    i’m all for google street view.  i laugh at the claims of invasion of privacy when people file lawsuits against google street view when they find themselves on google maps.  i am amused by humorous street view photos like the one with the guy in front of the camera or the one where they ran…

  • how windows 7 (inadvertently) helped me find a virus

    so the other day, i got a notification in my systray that msdt.exe was corrupt, and possibly i should do a chkdsk to repair the problem. after seeing this crop up several times, i decided to take the message’s advice.  i stopped paying attention at some point, when i realized the chkdsk was gonna take…

  • windows 7 beta review

    so, i’ve been running win 7 beta on my main machine for a little while now and thought i should share my thoughts, since, you know, that’s kind of the whole point of this beta thing… boot time bootup time is significantly faster than vista and xp.  i’m actually pretty surprised at how quickly it’s…
