Wanted to try this out early last year when I saw it on TWiT. Signed up again for the waitlist for iOS version, but not expecting much from that lol.
At least I can check it out on the web at least.
Illustration of Thumbelina perched in a day lily's petals. Dominant colors are pinks, blues, yellows, greens, and browns. heavily textured canvas with Art Nouveau filigree surrounding the composition.
Illustrated phone wallpaper of a Night Heron, perched on a branch. Behind the bird is a green paper texture with light yellow and dark blue gradients at the top and the bottom. Surrounding the bird is crosshatching and a halo of white light.
Volunteering today at the gallery.
Show’s coming down—tomorrow they do intake for the next one. It’ll be their 68th Annual Spring Exhibition. I’ll be submitting these two prints: Thumbelina and Night Heron.

Twitch x Persona:
Twitch uses Persona to verify a small number of affiliates; they do not use it for age verification. They will look at some of the feedback.
(Note: They've used Persona in this capacity since at least late 2023.)
New blog post about my latest pieces and how they’ve pushed me to grow as an artist.

We've all been there—assembling that particle board bookshelf at midnight, only to watch it fall apart after the second move. But when did we stop making things that last?

Big shift happening with my content. Stepping away from alternative platform coverage to focus on what actually brings me joy: woodworking and maker projects.

After taking down the old workbench setup, I believe I have enough wood to build out the mobile miter saw station.
This is going to be the first project in the workshop, and it will help take care of getting rid of some of the mess :D
Initiatives like this never really work out and only become extremely burdensome to the regular users. Add in that the "Trust us bro" the ID scans and face scans somehow never get deleted, only to get leaked months later.

Got a DM from your account about review a game scam.
At the beginning of 2025, I made 14 Twitch Predictions... well, it's time to find out how accurate I was and review them together!

We're seeing more creators "crash out" from the pressure to create increasingly extreme content. Should platforms implement mandatory mental health resources, or is that overreach? What role should the creator community play in looking out for each other?
Yes in that it is free, but we all know what that truly means. Another thing is that within 1 to 2 years new features being released will require a subscription.
The video may be 2 years old, but the message still rings true, even more so now!

Are Twitch's AI Plans a Trojan Horse for Ads?
Twitch's CPO gave an interview in which he discussed AI product ideas, including Auto Clips, Moderation, a chat AI, and a D&D Dungeon Master.
None of it seems particularly thoughtful, so it's probably just about ads.

macOS desktop with several apps open and being worked on. Craft, Root, IceCubes, and a Finder window take up the screen with a wallpaper in the background of a man being lifted up into a UFO.
#MondayMotivational of a small part of what I'm working on this week. Finishing up a blog post and will be working on some more content that I'm getting in the pipeline soon.
A new adventure that will ultimately be abandoned in about six months.
Thinking about expanding our maker community beyond alternative platforms. What if we welcomed woodworkers, homelab enthusiasts, crafters, and DIY creators? The infrastructure is ready, and I'm excited about the cross-pollination of ideas this could bring.
