I also need to continue with the 2nd draft of Melody of Shadows, the first book in the Shadows trilogy. I feel much more comfortable drafting in a dialogue only style then filling out the pros later.

Morning world.
So today I have a radio show to do from 4 pm UK time. Today I'll be playing artists that I've discovered since ditching mainstream radio to listening to Internet stations almost exclusively.

Who knew playing pool would put that much strain on your back. Worth it though./

So I just used chat GPT live video mode to tell me the layout of the balls on my pool table, it didn't get one colour and it's placement correct. I may try Meta AI with the Raybans to do the same and see what happens.

Unpopular opinion: building and using technology ethically is not the same thing as going back to a previous era of technology or staying frozen in time. Instead, it's really important to keep moving forward and building the future - new techniques, new platforms, new ideas - in a pro-social way.

It's an oddly satisfying sound hearing the correct pool balls dropping into the intended pockets. Luna our black lab wasn't the slightest bit impressed, she'd rather I be throwing her ball around instead.

Hi folks. I'm a blind guy in the UK. I do radio shows on Treehouse Radio, I create music and write strange and sometimes naughty fiction. I'll sometimes post about that, also odd shit that happens in life.
