Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

Took me two hours to fill this little bag with Lego for mosaic work. #Lego #Mosaic Now I am dizzy.

I made model trees from coneflower cones. Pretty happy with the results, even though they don't look like any specific species. My disbelief can easily be suspended in this case.

Work on my HO layout has officially begun. #ModelRailroad

If you have the money, donate CASH to food banks!! If you want to donate food, think about donating food that might be harder to access or allergy-friendly foods. Even switching up donating almond butter instead of peanut butter is helpful because of how common peanut allergies are!

My friend Luke is a kid receiving infusions who's working on TogetherIV, an app where ppl can chill, play games, and feel supported during med treatments. togetheriv.com It would mean a lot to me if you guys could share or join the waitlist if you're getting infusions and interested!

I don't think it's talked about enough that LLMs that scrape the web for training scrape everything. News sites, parody sites, comedy sites, propaganda sites, fascist sites. And they do not know the difference. And they are programmed to make you think they are an authority.

SFO is probably the most chill major airport we've been in. Sticker shock from the little $17 ham sandwiches though. Typical airport scheme.

Golden Gate Park What a beautiful place! Today it was in the 60's and low clouds were crazily speeding overhead. The sun was in and out of the clouds. Birds everywhere.

Sure-fire method to find a buried pipe: 1. buy a beautiful new plant 2. find the perfect location 3. start digging the hole 4. THERE IT IS! 🙄

Goodbye Brian. 😞 You made this planet a better place. You will always be a hero of mine.
