Back on the laser cutter again after an extended pandemic absence. This new laser cutter is an enormous improvement on the last one!
I made this response to a comment on a Substack that I subscribe to. It's subscribers-only, so I can't link directly to it, so screenshots will have to do.
Here's one of the boxes with my Carcassonne #boardgame with several expansions. Its original box broke down completely over almost two decades.
I ordered blank, unprinted game boxes to store my prototypes, and ship them to reviewers. Also I need to rebox some games whose boxes are completely destroyed. This is more than I need, but they're sold by the case. I figure I might sell some at Protospiel or board game conventions or something?
Today I received this thank-you gift to commemorate the ten years I spent on the Penguicon Board, before I stepped down this year.

I'm so thrilled! I spent a couple of weeks extracting the data from dozens of CDs and DVDs I've burned over the past two decades.

On one of them I found my old website, with essays, fanfictions, artworks, recordings, and game PDFs I made in the aughts, which I had thought to be lost forever.

Here is one such. It's a poem I wrote based on Jabberwocky, about trying to build a computer around a terrible motherboard.

Gwern Branwen has been experimenting with the GPT-3 text generation model. He fed into it "Trurl's Electronic Bard" by Stanislaw Lem, a 1965 story about a computer that could write poetry. In response, GPT produced the text in this image. Gwern posted it to Birdsite.
