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.

  • I’m giving away Google Wave invites!

    is google wave still relevant, or 2009’s biggest disappointment?  i’m still holding out for relevant, but i think it needs the kind of all-hands-in adoption that email has today.  but you’re sick of hearing the hype, right?  all these people talking and you still haven’t even seen what the damn thing looks like.  well you’re…

  • Free Desktop Wallpaper: Dehli, 4am

    This dark, noir wallpaper is currently adorning 3 monitors at Arcane Palette Central.  The dark theme is easy on the eyes, especially after a long day staring at white pixels.  It takes the classic smoky look and adds an interesting wallpaper texture, giving the feeling of sitting in a dark hookah bar, sipping a mango lassi.

  • SoftBank is my new favorite company in the world

    how can you not love a company that not only has a talking dog, and an American woman screaming something aggressive and samurai-ly in Japanese, but also has Quentin Tarrantino doing some crazy ass shit? that not convince you?  maybe these two ads with brad pitt co-starring as a sumo wrestler’s personal assistant may help:…

    teh TOTALLY 80s s3quence

    music was a cornerstone of my childhood. i grew up with mtv and what i consider to be the height of radio — back when dj’s played good music that wasn’t dictated by record labels. some people think that 80s music sounds kitchy, dated, or lo-fi, but i say it’s all of these things that…

  • tickets, please

    as per usual, the kids have been sick.  so imagine my surprise last night when, rather than unhappy wailing, i suddenly heard rambunctious giggling and laughter from the other room the kids were exchanging tickets (puzzle pieces) for a chance to ride on the slide (large armchair) this was being done as a solo activity…

  • the not-so-hidden value of netflix

    i’m pretty much completely in love with netflix. it started with some casual experimentation through a friend during college.  he had a netflix subscription and we’d often get triple features of obscure asian action flicks (digging deep in the early career of jet li with the once upon a time in china series — which i highly recommend,…

  • Free WordPress Plugin: Hello Ziggy

    so, you use WordPress.  and maybe you’ve turned on Hello Dolly.  but if you’re me (chances are, you’re not me, but we’ll pretend for the sake of argument that you’re enough like me to continue reading this statement and past this ridiculous parenthetical tangent), you don’t have Hello Dolly turned on because it’s obnoxious.  (no offense to…
