Just noticed this: why is Amazon using AI to summarize my book description? I have a perfectly good description written and I can write my own short summary if asked. It's not that what they wrote is incorrect, LLMs are good at summarizing. It's just that it should be in my words. MY words.

Bought two new (used) hardcover books today, both by my favorite little-known author, Ted Mooney, who sadly passed away in 2022. He only wrote four novels in his long career and these are the only two I haven't read yet. Cheers to those who leave behind a legacy.🥂

On the subject of world creation, does anyone else build 3D models of things in the world? This is the dining area of the salvage vessel Rogue Wave from my Novum series.

One could argue that since my Novum series takes place beneath the surface of an alien OCEAN, this much blue is justified, but opinions vary. 😂
Does anyone else have cover regrets?

Lord Huron performed on stage at Merriweather Post Pavilion (Maryland) last night to a packed crowd. Incredible music and amazing visual effects -- I've honestly never experienced anything like it. Go see them live if you can, and check out their new album, The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1

No reason to make a movie poster for my Rogue Wave screenplay, other than the fact that writing it last year (and then the book adaptation) inspired me to start creating again after my brother, Dave, passed away from cancer in 2019.
Here's to the power of storytelling.🥂

Another geek factor is that the floor pattern is actually the lines of C code used to create the game. You can only see that from high above as shown below. With 9 levels to explore, each over 100 sq. km in size, and up to 2000 bad guys to fight, I could be inside for days and not see everything.

Geeking around inside the 3D computer game my brother and I created >> 30 << years ago. This is what software nerds did before companies took over game design.🤪😎

I received this notification from a site I used to frequent about 15 years ago and noted 2 items:
1. I used to be popular on social media, long before the term "influencer" was created
2. My last post had "over 49549" views. Could they mean 49550? Is that a number they dare not say? Like Voldemort?
