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.

  • New ThinkTank Studio beta site launched!

    class=”aligncenter” Hi.  You’re looking at the brand-spanking-new ThinkTank Studio website.  We’re still working on adding in a Theme Switcher to allow you to change the look of the site, but we decided it was time to launch the site anyway.  This is one of our favorite themes that we’ve built for the site anyway, designed…

  • a clue! a clue!

    gavin really likes blue’s clues. he’s started finding clues throughout the house.  he says “A clue! A clue!” when he sees something paw-shaped around the house.  this is a really post-modern experience for me and brings up an interesting question. what is this thing that we’re finding clues for?  i haven’t written down all the…

  • eat your heart out david lynch

    first vlog.  i’m pretty happy with it.  it doesn’t say “hey, i’m a boring video blog” instead it says “hi i’m a video blog AND I’M GOING TO MELT YOUR BRAIN” which, i think, is a lot more interesting.  i’m a bit annoyed by the clicky noises it makes when i move the laptop around…

  • twine: you’re dead to me…

    a while ago i read this article on wired about twine, a new social bookmarking app.  it was supposed to revolutionize the concept of social bookmarking, pushing links that you might be interested in into your email box.  manage my digital life by  feeding me interesting stuff?  sure!  sign me up! at the time it…

  • busy busy busy

    so we’re back from our road trip.  i really meant to post a list of the fun and interesting stories that happened, but, you know, i didn’t have time.  as per usual.  i would like to state outright, however, that hitchhiking for gas in the middle of Nowhere, Utah isn’t very fun, but truckers can…

  • a thousand words

    you’ve all heard it:  a picture speaks a thousand words. i don’t usually take pictures on my cell phone.  there’s actual cameras for that (i have one) and people who do that seem to not be enjoying the actual event because they’re so busy taking pictures with their phone to document the event.  case in…

  • new toy

    so if you aren’t following me on twitter, you may not know that i got a laptop in the mail yesterday. my new toy is a 13″ macbook with osx tiger, 2gb ram, 60gb hd and 2ghz (actually i think maybe 2.2 ghz) processor.  i got it on ebay for a total of $710 including…

  • tweet

    so i’m rethinking my stance on twitter.  slightly.  let me just say that i thnk a lot of twitters are inane and obnoxious, like “going to the bathroom” or “eating” and i don’t care about those.  if it was a waste of a blog post, it’s a waste of a twitter.  however, in reading things…

  • nooooo! okay, the sso sucks. but, in other news, we’re wiidicted

    i nixed the single sign on due to the fact that a) it was kind of buggy and b) i didn’t need it anyway. but in better news.  WII.  seriously.  wii.  it’s wiitastic.  i’m wiidicted.  it’s wiilicious.  and i’ve got wii-arm now. gavin’s b-day is coming up so we decided to get him a wii. …

  • YESSSSSSSS! got the single sign-on integration to work

    w00t! WordPress and KickApps are now playing nice.  the single sign on app is working and all is right with the world.  there were a couple really little dumb things that needed tweaking.
