Just thinking about him again.

I've fallen into the trap again of cutting an intro that is so good I keep watching these 90 seconds over and over again instead of editing the next 75 minutes of the video.

Considering the sheer amount of AI information on the YouTube kids app, I do fear that this will become the norm for the next generation.

A REQUEST: If you own a French CD-ROM computer game called "Pop Anim'", please let me know. I could use it for some research but haven't been able to find a circulating copy yet. (It's at the BnF but I can't get there right now.)

All I have to do is get a VPS and learn how that works, then setup Docker and learn how that works, then setup the forum plus some other side websites and learn how that works, then setup a nice visual style and good moderation rules and build a community and a way to fund it all.

Weekend project!
