Finished Friday! Big boy is ready for Halloween. #pixelart #wood

Five years going now, pieces getting a round of touch ups. Peaches took some wind fall damage last year.

Prop stands down from the attic. Halloween coming!

Either Cinderella or Bambi, back when Disney would regularly re-release the animated films to theaters pre VHS take-off. Live action? Probably Return of the Jedi in '83 when I was 4.

Not lying

I have thought about this in thinking through putting out a new app. If it gets downloads and I switch to monetize after the free period, what's to stop someone from taking screenshots, having AI reverse engineer it, and release for free against me?

It's grotesque that he played. This is nonsense that makes me not want to watch another second of the NFL.

Me: This is the last piece for this year's Halloween. 9yo:

Me: Oh no! Me (5 seconds later): What did really I expect?

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Size and shape creating some logistical trickiness getting the sides done at the ol’ painting table.

WIP Monday! All Halloween focused now.

Adding Dunkin’ Affleck to my collab wishlist. Come on, Epic. You seem to need the money.

Every autumn, when I turn the heat on for the first time.

For this app, I paid for a piece of artwork that I redrew in my own needed style. iStock says they don't accept AI, and it's labeled as "Not AI", but this is probably the toughest stuff to tell since it's vector line art and so generic. Who knows! I tried.

Showtime Saturday!

Countdown to showtime.

SIT. DOWN.

the phillies have tied it up. phillies fans are madder than theyve ever been about this development

Only a few days to go. I'll be at the Alexandria Art on the Avenue this Saturday, October 3rd!

Tried to estimate what % I let AI handle on different tasks for this app.

I will get at least two days of Red October. And one Kruck game since it’s on Peacock!

Sure, I’ll do the thing and carbon date myself. Why not.

Nailed it.

It's here. We made it. Summer can kiss my ass. Goodbye forever, Hell season. theonion.com/mr-autumn-ma...

I'm not much of a Pokémon person, but my son is & trying to buy him cards at retail prices has been nigh on impossible the last couple of years, and I refuse to pay scalpers for anything. So it warms the cockles of my heart to see so many of them having a full meltdown about the recent set. Enjoy!!

At the stage of app development when I convince myself that it sucks and I made a pile of garbage. I have to wait it out and not do anything stupid.

My new analogy for AI coding is a hand saw vs a table saw. A table saw lets you do more at scale with nice, clean cuts. But you don't just turn it on and throw boards at the blade. You have to know what you're doing, know what it's doing and what it's best at, and be in full control.

With just a mustache Jalen Hurts looks like Tim Meadows as The Ladies Man.

WIP Monday! I don’t usually do 1/4 inch trim for a Halloween piece but I doubt I ever do Wart again, unlike Rosalina, so I’m letting it rip. #pixelart #wood
