What’s on the easel ? This pair of paintings I’m grinding it out on. I have a hard deadline - it’s gonna a be a long night. Coffee and brush-miles Let’s Go. #artstr #painting #artwork #in-progress #studio image
Enjoying the day I have a deadline and work to do, but I’m still gonna take time to enjoy the day. Coffee and some morning sunshine on my face. Next : a productive session at the easel. image

Confession: It’s been a while since my last post on Nostr I’ve been busy. Lots going on IRL, some good, some bad - but it’s kept me tied up. My ai assistant is helpful - but the time spent working on it absorbed the time gained by using it. I feel more organized- The signal : i finally got a few moments to look at social media and I go to Nostr not some crumby platform. 😁 Hope you all have the best day ever.

Was just thinking back on this moment. This a good friend, Nick Sherman playing a song of his on a borrowed guitar, down on Whiskey Dock, waiting for a ride. We had one hell of a visit, he played a bunch of gigs including an impromptu concert in my gallery with Myles Morrison backing him up. We went to a punk show, stayed out till the sun came up. It's a moment I really appreciate for how cool it was. Sometimes the simplest things are the best. No production just me and my phone Funny thing; I like this version better than the studio recording, lol

Anthropic publicly accused Moonshot, DeepSeek and MiniMax of “industrial scale fraud” Yes, they were using Claude to train their own models, but they paid to use it - I mean, this is basically the 'recursive self improvement' loop that devs predicted will precede the singularity 😛 Slap in the face for Anthropic after their response to Openclaw sent it's developer into the open arms of OpenAi Things are getting spicy. 🍿 🦞

I went to an art supply store today… left without buying anything, crazy 🤪 Normally I’m like : when you said ‘friends with benefits’ I thought you owned an art supply store. 😉 Price in sats is high right now, kills me to buy anything.

Apparently Affinity, the photo, vector, layout app is free now. A friend told me of the recent changes and I thought I’d try it rather than begrudgingly renew my Photoshop sub affinity.studio is the web #photo #app #free #edit #software #affinity #canva first impression is that it looks solid, feels like a legit photoshop alternative. Cross platform and free. 🤗
1 Loki Urlacher Antminer S19K Pro on the way-! I decided to get the miner - by September I’ll have customized it further and spliced it into the house HVAC There are a few approaches to accomplishing this - but I’ll get it hashing while I finalize the plan. #mine4heat #diy #mining #grownostr
