Human since 1973, Mastodon user since 2022, napping since noon.

My avatar is a portrait of me, drawn by my daughter on a Palm Pilot when she was three years old.

New Fedi scam alert!

Many accounts are posting good content, hoping to trick you into boosting or faving it so they can collect dopamine from you.

Fresh fruit
Smutty romance books
Dogs wagging their tails
Sundresses and open-toed shoes
Scones
Crossing things off a list
New music shared with me
Chirping birds
Broadway
Kindness from strangers

"AI is here to stay": never backed by any actual evidence

"AI is a bubble": backed by the actual economics playing out in the real world

I've mostly stopped writing to the Internet, aside from mistakes on Reddit. I used Google Plus and Google Buzz, and I had a Blogspot blog when GWB was in office. I read #twitter but never write there.

My job is building and maintaining infrastructure in AWS using Terraform.

In my free time, I follow politics, play Minecraft, and consume the kind of media found on Disney Plus.
