I have now fashioned Stink Floyd a special 'house' for tonight. Let's see what he thinks about it! :)

My night-time skunk companion, Stink Floyd, is not sure what to make of the newly-appeared bags of mulch. [90 seconds, no sound]

Continuing to be amazed, grateful, and concerned about AI progress... this time, re marketing'ish videos. I made this with Claude (which leveraged Gemini & Suno) in about 10 minutes of work on my end, semi-ironically about how difficult it apparently is to make genuinely high-quality AI films.

You can hate on AI all you want, but it's still damn fun for making cartoons!

Made a playful quick video making fun of the constant AI one-upmanship and Google being -- almost certainly temporarily -- left behind.

If I were the world's benevolent overlord, I'd require there be a cap on total laws per jurisdiction. Want new regs? Need to either amend or deprecate an existing law. Exhibit A: Gov Newsom just signed *7* new data center bills. Yeah, we need regulation in this space, but come on now!

Went to another Groupmuse event and was reminded how incredible classical house concerts are. (and I'm sorry I didn't capture a clip highlighting how talented the pianist is, too; we were all mostly no-phone'ing during the performances!) Violinist: Hannah White Pianist: Ian Scarfe

I'll never understand (or respect) the behavior of crapping on free, non-monopoly, non-essential services or -- worse -- insulting the people who make them... while continuing to regularly use those services.

Uh, what? Any ideas? (seen on my daily walk)

Sometimes I ponder... if we're gonna have an evil dictator, why couldn't they at least be actually wicked smart so I could at least respect their game vs. having to painfully cringe at their dunning-krugerness and immaturity?

At some point probably some introspection is called for.

1) Citation? That doesn't appear to be true. 2) "Slow and coordinate" is a lot different than what Bernie is quixotically insisting upon.

I'm glad you've essentially volunteered to draw memes upon request! Here's another one for you, thanks in advance! :) In the meantime, please refrain from eating any almonds or meat.

BTS... at the Asian Art museum yesterday! Okay, not quite a real concert by the BTS dudes themselves, but we did our best to channel 'em in this drop-in a cappella event yesterday. Hella fun!

I can't read your essay on Chrome (see attached image), but I'm trying to better understand the (I assume implied or stated) argument there that the companies building data centers are responsible for ensuring the use of clean power vs. utility companies and our gov'ts.

No no no, Google, we're making FUN of "content creators" for overusing the word "obsessed". DON'T ENCOURAGE THEM!

Was happy to see Matthew's smart post (and thread) on the dispiriting situation in academia. Rather than push for more guardrails in AI tools (which'd be both futile AND problematic for legit uses), the thread rightly identifies the core problems re how we view and offer education in society.

Adam Lasnik @adamlasnik.net · 10/08/2026

Okay, this is both a little scary AND funny (especially the listed replies)! (For the record, I've never been brave enough to use these open-source claw thingies; I'm a ChatGPT and Claude-stan all the way)

Would anyone be interested in this, but for Bluesky? www.ThriendOrFaux.com (It's a Chrome extension that offers a quick impression of someone's post-and-reply history to help you quickly decide whether or not to engage with a fellow community member) I'd be open to building it for Bluesky if so.

Another great Acahub event, this time in Redwood City (usually they're in SF). Given the different location, there were a lot of new folks and I was inspired to learn that -- for many of 'em -- this was their first time group-singing! Excerpt from the song below: #acappella #singing #bayarea

I have some trepidation sharing this here, but maybe it'd give someone inspiration to do something similar for Bluesky! In short, I created an extension for Threads that lets one click a button to see some stats and a brief AI analysis of a poster's profile.

Started ~daily habit of a 1 mile outdoor walk or light run in March*. Happy to see positive changes in my inferred VO2max :) Let's see if I can get to Above Average (vs. just average) in another few months! * this is in addition to my longtime workouts, typically BodyPump & Peloton'ing

Not sure if it's an indication of Bluesky's success or my own burgeoning popularity here (LOL), but I'm getting an increasing number of scammer-follows here nowadays. You know, the hot younger women sliding into your DMs "So how is your day? May I call you Adam?" 🙄 DO. NOT. WANT. :\

We're living in a Twilight Zone episode! The boy "lacks emotional development, holds his terrified family & neighbors in thrall to his every juvenile wish" They (like our GOP congress) had the power to stop him at every turn, but didn't... so he continued to impulsively tear the community apart.

Pro tip: Unclutter your Gmail w/ rapid-fire unsubscribings! 1) Click on "Manage subscriptions" in the lefthand panel of web-based Gmail. You might need to click on "more" to see the option. 2) Then click on 'Unsubscribe" next to each subscription one you want to get rid of. Very cathartic!

I'm an idiot. I looked at the thread anyway. :insert I Don't Know What I expected meme here: This'd be hilarious if it wasn't so damn pathetic.

I did not have the best French toast being in Japan on my 2025 bingo card, but it's true. It's like a cross between bread pudding, egg custard, and, er, I guess regular French Toast. Practically melts in your mouth!

Adam Lasnik @adamlasnik.net · 06/12/2025

Next time someone asks me "Why are you vacationing in Japan *again* when there are so many places you haven't visited?!" I think I'm gonna show them this photo I took today.
