I'm working on title cards for my miniature videos, this is a first pass at Age of Sigmar style cards. thoughts?

background: one of my goals for 2026 is to create a "brand" around my miniature painting so that folks start to recognize my work across platforms.

I love art and the expression of our emotions, pain, and the lives we live, fuck the people trying to take that away from us

Winnie the Pooh is a terrible neighbor and friend. He often breaks into other's homes and consumes (steals) all their honey.

his response when caught. "Oh, bother." this is not an apology, it's a family friendly way to say "shit i'm caught."

Also he never wears pants.

I do not like fail compilations. I do not find anything but anxiety in watching others get hurt, even in low stakes "funny" ways.

Fail compilations are cringe content.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

- @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit.

Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!

am I changing the title attribute for my abbreviation tags for AI anytime I mention it on my site? 👀

warhammer 40k needs more cross-functional war bands.

where is my rag-tag kill team made up of a Space Marine banished from his chapter, an Aeldari dire avenger that owes his life to a Votann mechanic, a sly but trust-worthy grot, and a Genestealer cultist that has escaped the cult?

I know "we're" supposed to think the Aeldari are silly, but...

that psychic infused armor, the dire blades that cause spiritual damage, and shuriken launchers... I mean I'm not seeing anything silly here.

I really dig their lore and armory. I need to paint some Aelves soon.

fact: you cannot have "great security and privacy" AND AI features. They are mutually exclusive concepts.

I've set up a small monthly newsletter called Focus State.

With accessibility support shrinking in a lot of orgs, I wanted to create something that divides that gap, builds community, and makes the internet a bit more fun.

If you dig digital accessibility give it a look:

my favorite kind of data breach are the ones for undisclosed third party companies that were given my private financial information without consent. oh those are special!

the number 1 thing I get asked in stores is "do you play basketball?" the 2nd most popular question is "can you help me get this down?"

never once has my (partner/wife) required me to ask her permission to help a small stranger.

as a tall, it's my civic duty to help the under-heighted amongst us.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the same designers that yell "Design Systems Kill Creativity!!" also write LinkedIn posts glazing AI as a tool for better productivity.

like gag me with a spoon.
