The second #kakapo chick of the #kakapo2026 breeding season hatched this morning: Hine Taumai-A1-2026 on Ako's nest on Te Kākahu. We transferred the egg from Anchor two nights ago. This is Ako's first-ever chick, which is just a few hours old in this video. #conservation #birds #parrots
Fishing out of the hamper clothes to wear isn't exactly like eating from the garbage.
I almost forgot: nigh and nigher became near and nearer.
"Back to whence you came!" is all right, though, right?
Fake ad made for me with Sora.ai. I’ve never tried pickled pig’s feet, but I’m curious about it. sora.chatgpt.com/p/s_68ffa311...
I have a thing for centaurs. (Chiron especially, though he’s not featured in the Sora video here. I put my prompt in the alt-text.)
That was a bad year for me, too. Mostly grief, some anger.
Meta.ai animated an old picture of myself that I really like
I’m feeling nostalgic for my middle age. Here I am about eighteen years ago. A photo animated by Meta.ai

Showing a knitting diagram for mosaic knitting that spells out "visualize whirled peas."
I created a font for mosaic knitting (a color-work style) and tried out various phrases using it. One constraint on making the font: you must be able to knit it from any direction. That explains how the letters aren't as dark and the background isn't as light as they could be.
Today I learned…
I animated an old photo of myself with Meta.AI because vanity and it was probably the peak length my beard ever got. Terminal length is much shorter these days.
That pizza is not going down without a fight. #burp
I always wanted to be a centaur. Next time I’ll be shirtless, but Sora.AI doesn’t let me be as hairy as I really am. sora.chatgpt.com/p/s_68ef0839...
Sora2 lets me do digital Grizzly Adams cosplay (#ai)
I used evil Meta AI to animate an old photo of myself (15 years ago) that I really like:
My head hair, what’s left of it, will probably be brown into old age. My beard is every year getting grayer.
Oh here is another old picture of myself (from the 80s) when I had hair. But not as much as this AI animation.
With a beautiful fillip at the last

In the nineties I worked in the graphics department of Foxwood Casino in Connecticut. The casino was painted in mauve and teal.
Very '90s-retro colors on the art
Bearish folks know this: sweat season in Portland is not summer. It's October to May. It's not the cold, it's the 100% humidity.
