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.

  • Simple time management for dummies

    Make a list of all the stuff you need to get done. Create deadlines for each item.* Do it.  And keep to your deadlines. I don’t know what the fucking problem is.  We aren’t in kindergarten anymore, we can take responsibility for our own work.  Constantly being interrupted by Twitter, email, phone, IM?  Turn them…

  • New gig

  • Free March Calendar Wallpaper: Vintage Dreams

    This month’s calendar wallpaper is inspired by light and shadows and ideas out of focus.  It combines a film noir aesthetic with vintage paper textures and colors, creating a warm glow for your monitor reminiscent of a spring sunset.  This Mar…

  • Random Song of the Day #18

    There’s an @RPMChallenge song in here somewhere… Slighter – Redline (Club Mix) by colinc

  • Netlabel

    A little bit about me: I went to a University with an adjunct program that allowed students to create their own individualized majors (it’s called the Johnston Center).  You see, my interests and passions were too diverse for me to settle with one single field of study.  We didn’t have letter grades — that doesn’t…
