Hi!

So. There’s this thing called “GISHWHES”: the “Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen”. It’s been happening every year for the past few years. This is its seventh year. It’s happening right now, and it’ll be going on for another few days. (I don’t participate, but I’m aware of others who do.)

And it has fantastic “commandments” to go along with it. They’re worth reading.

Have a lovely Tuesday!

Hi!

So, for those of you not aware, Darths and Droids finished Episode 6 on June 6.

Fortunately, they have just started Rogue One! And it looks like it should be a fun way of doing things. It looks like our favorite players are going to be recounting their adventure.

So, yep! Go check it out. Because Darths and Droids is fantastic.

Have a lovely Monday! (If possible.)

Greetings, readers!

I was recently informed of an interesting new Kickstarter. It is for a toy called “Algobrix”.

The premise is to teach kids coding, tangibly. The campaign explains it far better than I can; you may want to check it out.

Have a happy Sunday!

I made a thing!

Hi!

I made a thing!

So. Background. A favorite author of mine, Brandon Sanderson, has a book with a marvelous one-scene “character”. It is a stick. Who is very adamant about being a stick. (Its only line is “I am a stick.”)

Other background. I recently discovered Tunisian/Afghan crochet, which makes it easier to incorporate designs in the stitching.

So, I made a fan art thingy.

It was fun.

(No, I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to do with it yet. But I’m sure there will be something!)

So, yup!

An adamant stick, crocheted.

I AM A STICK.

It Got Better

Hi.

My. Freaking. Computer.

For some reason, it seemed to develop an allergy to the interwebz. That is the only plausible explanation I can come up with. It just spontaneously decided the wifi connection had gone *POOF!* and stopped connecting. Even though it’s been on this network for forever. (Basically.) And others’ wifi worked.

Basically, my computer killed the wifi.

…And yet, you are writing this post, through the internet.

…It got better.

Anyway. Happy August First.

Hi!

I recently read, and then re-read, the book Howl’s Moving Castle.

As was probably indicated by the fact that I re-read the book, I enjoyed it a lot. It’s a delightful story that takes place in the land of fairy tales where, and it held up for the re-read. (It was fun seeing all the foreshadowing that actually happened.)

So, yup! Enjoy.

Chrysler Pacifica: Evil AI

Hi!

Yesterday, I was on a road trip with a family member. And we discovered something. Evil AIs are here, and they live in Chrysler Pacificas.

THE THING WAS “HELPFUL” TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING USABLE.

Specifically, we wanted to be able to play an audiobook through an Android tablet, on the car’s speakers. So, we plugged the thing in, via a USB/micro-USB charger.

You know.

The car, however, had other plans. First, it didn’t recognize the tablet. (Go figure.)

Then, after I plugged my phone in, the car KNEW that what we REALLY wanted was for it to start auto-playing music on the phone. With no option to choose the Audible ap.

It was really special.

Eventually, the only fix we found was to buy a knew aux/aux cable.

Still. Dang AI!

How about you? Any “helpful”/evil AI experiences?
