So, Skynet becomes aware at 2:14am EDT. Be nice to AI today. Except Microsoft Copilot. You can still be a jerk to that one. Skynet won't want that--kind of like the Borg with inferior technology--no interest.

As usual, Seán is spot on. 🖖🏻 This is especially true on Threads where I was called everything from a snowflake to a ragebaiter all for hating the puppet episode. 🤷🏻♂️
Seán Ferrick@seanferrick.bsky.social · 2w agoPost something positive, you're a shill. Post something negative, you've got no sense of humour. Post something in the middle, you're a nothing-burger reviewer. Sure as sunrise follows night, post something, and there is someone waiting to tell you how wrong you are

34 years ago today marked the first day of principal photography on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, all on Paramount Stage 4. Avery Brooks, Colm Meaney, Nana Visitor, and guest actor Gene Armor (as a Bajoran bureaucrat) filmed scenes that day.

Last night, we gave Isabella some Gabapentin in advance of some thunderstorms that never came. It makes her seem a little "drunk," and last night it resulted in her doing something she's NEVER done before: she went to sleep in my LAP at bedtime. 🤣🤣🤣 1/2
Today, I set a reminder for a little over 2.5 years from now when I can withdraw from my IRA without penalty. Fuck, I'm old.
I thought Strange New Worlds S4 was off to a good start, but episodes 3 & 4 just completely annoyed me. Aside from not liking them at all, they're a waste of 20% of this season. I don't mind shit like this in a 20 episode season, but I'd love to see some STAR TREK instead of continual "big swings."
4 years of Crusher Convo!! 🎉 We're celebrating with Bill & Dan from Trek Geeks — top Trek moments, STLV previews, and a whole lot of love for 60 years of Star Trek. New episode out now. 🖖 #StarTrek #CrusherConvo

One of the single best meals I have every year. WORTH IT.
Brent Spiner, referring to the podcast they do together: "You say the F-word, and I don't." Jonathan Frakes: "Fuck you." #STLV
Priming my liver for Vegas with a little Freeland Ranch bourbon. (With a Trek Geeks ice cube 🧊.)

"Excuse me, but do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior, Chimkins??" (Isabella loves her some freeze-dried chicken.)
Bringing this over for the podcast folks. I can't write code, but I built & shipped an audio tool with AI in an afternoon, the kind of thing that's genuinely handy if you make audio. The write-up's a fun read even if you skip the nerdy bits 👇
billbuildsai.bsky.social@billbuildsai.bsky.social · last mo.I can't write code. 30 years in tech & it's still my biggest skill gap. Last week I rebuilt a tool that's been dead since 2012, deployed it, & had it running before lunch. Asked an AI what it'd take, then built it together. Wrote it all up, bugs included 👇
