So via a couple of online personality quizzes that I recently took, I thought it would be fun to share the results. Admittedly they do hit my personality and communication style on the head. The Myers-Briggs 16 Personalities is something that I've been seeing frequently on social media for the last couple of years and only recently figured out what [...]

As a much-belated follow-up to a post I wrote back in 2001, I had the intention at the time of making an original module for the game Neverwinter Nights (the game can still be bought on GOG.com) that I called Forever Lost. Even though I never got beyond writing the outline, creating names for some of the characters, and thumbing [...]

By current standards, the pioneering games of that era were graphically and logically quite primitive. Coupled with the fact that many of those games have imperfections and areas that could stand for improvement [...]

Curiously I tried out ChatGPT and asked this question: “Tell me a story about a teddy bear.” The results are quite interesting. The AI-generated story is entirely believable and works well as a simple children's story. Once the AI-generated artwork algorithms improve, I could create an entire children's book instantly... 🤔 Once upon a time, there was a beautiful and [...]

So where am I at with REMLAB? First off, as you can see it has been 10 years since I last updated the PHP/AJAX version of REMLAB that I have on SourceForge. This version I have largely abandoned this as the source code for it was a hot mess and needed to be completely rewritten. About 5 years ago, I [...]

In honor of the date of this website's namesake, and of course my birthday🎈🎂, here is a little history of the existence of this website. This website has existed in one form or another for over twenty years.

For a creative writing class that I took several years ago, we were tasked with writing a short parable or fable. The inspiration for this short story came from The Æsop Fables for Children section on the Library of Congress website. The fable I wrote centers around the interaction between a bear cub 🐻 and a fish 🐟, and the [...]
