I put the entire description for the Lampton coat of arms into Sora to see if it could generate a stained glass pattern. Incredible results. Attached are the notarized description, a commissioned drawing we inherited, and the Sora output.

I'm excited to be participating in @fldrupal.camp later this month. Lots of great sessions! I'll be leading "Back(drop) to the Future" to outline some reasons that make Backdrop a great choice for certain types of projects. More info here: www.fldrupal.camp/session/back... #BackdropCMS #Drupal

The words "Backdrop to the Future" in the style of the old "Back to the Future" movie.

I was informed by friend @sugaroverflow.com that I can import my Twitter history via blueark.app. Her feed looks comprehensive so I'm giving it a shot. Don't mind the 3 year gap since I last tweeted.

Sometimes reviewing code can be demoralizing for me. "Sorry, needs tests. Sorry, whitespace. Sorry just doesn't work." But sometimes you get 10 perfect PRs in a row. And that feels awesome! Emptied out the #backdropcms RTBC queue. Woot!
