Spoon Theory and Practice

Simple tasks for mental health in stressful times — Hobbies are Important My friend Andrew Dacey and I tend to have weirdly overlapping hobbies. I mean, that was part of why we became friends in the first place, but then it built weirdly from there. We both worked IT, we both liked role-playing games, he was a talented photographer and I wanted…

Strong Female Characters vs. Strong Characters that are Female

The phrase Strong Female Character has become a term of derision… and probably rightly. For the most part, writers who are creating Strong Female Characters are doing so with the intention of creating Strong Female Characters, which usually leads to creating underdeveloped characters. So, what makes a character a Strong…

My Mom’s Book

It’s about making websites that people will actually use — Today is my mother's birthday. A few years ago, she wrote a book. It never really caught on, which is a shame, because it’s a really useful reference for web development. The title is 5 Keys to Building a Clear & Usable Website. There isn’t much in the way of…

How Automation Enables Creativity

The robots are coming to help you make cool stuff! — I saw an ad a while back. It was for voiceover work for video… but it wasn’t the usual kind of ad; it was for computer-generated voiceovers that are indistinguishable from human voice work. We’ve all heard this in practice — sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn’t. A few…

Why the Furor Over AI Image Generation Copyright is Misplaced

A technical perspective, not a legal one — Right now AI art generation is making the news all over the internet — it started with the incredible images produced by Dall-E 2, then MidJourney hit, and it was a game changer. AI art started showing up everywhere. The next thing to appear on the scene was StableDiffusion, an…

An Experiment in AI Content Generation

will AI take over writing? — An AI text generator wrote the article below. I think it’s based on GPT-3, but I’m not sure. I know that they have GPT-3 based tools, but they don’t have a content warning, so I can’t be certain. It’s pretty generic and a bit shallow, but easily as good as…

The Pressure to Write

How one event stalled my writing for a year — He said it was okay, he could go now — the things I was writing were saying what he wanted to say to the world. A little over a month later he was dead. My father called me for Christmas 2019. He lived half a world away and we didn’t…

Dependence is Learned Behaviour

Stop yourself from disabling your loved ones — Driving Forces I like driving stick. Manual transmission, it’s a thing — it feels more connected, like you have more control over the car. Many years ago my then-partner and I decided to buy a car together. She had never driven a vehicle with a manual transmission, so we talked about whether…

ADHD Meds are the Starting Point, Not the Cure

Learning life skills you missed is a crucial step — Late Diagnosis I was diagnosed with ADHD in my forties. I don’t think it was much of a shock to anyone who knew me, but it was still a long time coming. After 4 decades of struggle, of failing to quite fit, of not being able to do the sort of thing…
