That feeling when you get back into your car with your coffee, see the orange juice from your chicken biscuit order and your jug that you carry with you and realize you're in the adhd multi beverage club.

I've spent a good chunk of break working on a new structure for podcast episodes this next year. Part of the writing process has been exploring a much more audio doc format as a way to tell these stories. hoping to do some prompting here where people could respond via audio and used in episode

Started working on a home project the other night with Claude. Wife and I were having a conversation about budget and task lists and all of the stuff we drop the ball on. after talking with Claude a bit we started building a couples oriented text msg based adhd scheduler/helper.

But I'm sure there are some other ideas that I'll figure out as I go along. It's still absolutely batty to have someone/something that can sit beside me and just start teasing this stuff out. It's really magical sometimes.

It's really magical that you can kind of sit and flesh out an idea and then start to implement and test. I think the thing I'm most excited about is a "conversation de-escalator" that'll let you vent and then translate the language into something you should probably say instead. 😂🙃

When it works, it'll prompt in the morning for tasks. But it'll also start to see if I can take anything off of my wife's plate. Still need to work on that part. But I had definitely never set up a twilio and digitalocean server to create a flow of data back and forth.

Daughter talking about building a mashed potato volcano led to talking about Close Encounters: "All im saying is that Close Encounters is one of Steven Spielbergs most cherished movies" Daughter: "I don't know who Stephen whatever-his-name is." This same child also dislikes queso. Can I disown?

I’ve got three proposals out and nothing locked in through the end of the year. If you need an experienced motion designer, vfx artist, product manager, pipeline architect, or drumming personal chef, let me know!

Messing around with the new iteration of the Adobe podcast voice tool and its more naturalistic v2 is really great. I'm particularly impressed with how well it cleans up really old audio. That, combined with the new dialog model Play.ht launched and... man, it's crazy what you can do.

play.htAI Voice Generator: Realistic Text to Speech and AI VoiceoverPlayHT is #1 AI Voice Generator with 600+ AI voices that creates ultra realistic Text to Speech voiceovers. Convert text to audio and download as MP3 & WAV files.

Time to make the proverbial doughnuts. Going to hop back in and start to figure out what I need to do to wrap some font stuff up and try to get some stuff wrapped up for release. Have a handful of tasks I'd like to still get done before the end of the year even if parts spill into 2025.

Just finished pitching some music direction and visual concept ideas for the next video. Got as positive of a response as I could have which is nice. I always like when the person you're pitching is interested enough that they almost end up cutting you off as they start riffing. "wait... "

NS Casual Script is my favorite font that I put together this year. It's got an absolutely absurd number of conditional ligatures that allows alternate glyphs to be used in After Effects. You can also see some of the other stuff I've had cooking in the background.

The first font pack that I need to get up and out the door is based on type from a vintage 1950s grocery store in rural Oklahoma. Fell in love with this slab font they used and felt like I needed to bring it to life. I've used it (and its companion fonts) a lot this year. Here're some samples.

You are up to date.
