Happy October! Looking forward to cosy sofa time & crisp autumn walks. Here's my little unicorn lamp thing.

Sunday walk. A gorgeous sunny September day which makes a nice change after so many wet grey foggy ones. Met a few mallard ducks by the little harbour.

The park was gorgeous this weekend. The city finally finished the complete cleanup and renovation of the pond. I hope the ducks will love it again like they used to.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

Until he was 44, Raymond Chandler was a businessman. He didn't become a writer until the Great Depression killed his job. Annie Proulx published her first novel at 53. Bram Stoker published his first novel at 43 and didn't find success until he published Dracula at 50. Hang in there.

Hexagon’s Year Five Anthology is now available to all subscribers! 🧡 For as low as $1, you could be enjoying everything Hexagon published in its fifth year, marvelling at fantastic cover art, and gasping for air as you drown in never before seen concept art.

Hexagon’s Year Five Anthology cover features a human with long hair rising from a mangrove river with an enormous red snake watching ominously behind them. The human’s bottom half is sort of pixelated into small hexagon shapes as it emerges from the water.

Includes stories by Calvert, Cato, Del Valle Berríos, Dorgan, Gayet, Geleynse, Guay, Haab, Heike, Hirsch, Joines, Jones, Muscato, Novak, Nwaka, O’ Mahoney, Scheina, Stamp, Vona, and Wallace. Edited by JW Stebner.

I don't know who needs to hear this*, but taking time to declutter your workspace and do some basic cleaning isn't always an act of procrastination, but a valuable task that leaves you feeling much more peaceful, clear-headed, and motivated to be creative. *it's me. I need to hear this.
