Have been playing with the dialog enhancement setings in the Apple Tv app. I find I like it best when it’s set to isolate dialog so I can hear what’s being said without having to turn up the volume so loud the gunshots and explosions don’t break my head.
Happy 4th of July to my fellow U.S. citizens. As you observe in the manner that is appropriate for you, take time to reflect on the idea that without equal access, all the freedom in the world means nothing–regardless of the subject.
Nothing enhances an exercise routine like a cat bumping heads with you or putting his tail in your face while you’re doing push-ups on an exercise ball.
My bathroom visits would be much shorter if Alex didn’t insist I pet him every time I go in there.
Good morning, Internet Dwellers. Are you gorgeous?
I repurposed the #AccessibilityDragons to be the mascotts of Control Alt Access and posted about it. Someone on Facebook asked why there was no dragon for “normal people”. You can see the responses here.
While doing my first paying gig for Control Alt Access at the at Sarasota art museum, I was also asked to give a class on AI and image generation in the winter for my See something Say something piece. Here I thought all the stuff I learned to do with AI was just to get CAA off the ground that much faster.
The weirdest thing about being self-employed so far: There’s no clock to punch, no angry supervisor who messes with you to try and get you to quit when you don’t meet your productivity goals. And yet, I’m working 10-12 hour days and I don’t mind at all.
📺 Watching Burn notice. The amount of money in their pyrotechnics budget must have been astounding to say the least.
I just downloaded and am playing with Thunderbolt. It’s a secure encrypted messenger like Signal or WhatsApp, except your identifier is your domain. Click here for more information. Then, chat me up by searching for starshipchangeling.net.
The reason I haven’t been here is because I’ve been pouring all of my networking energy into my new company, Control Alt Access. You can follow it from the Fediverse by following @ControlAltAccess@mastodon.social. See you there! :)

This is your basic ghost/haunted house story, but it’s really good and I enjoyed the characters.
Finished reading: Never Flinch by Stephen King 📚
I really enjoyed this one. Constant readers who enjoyed Rose matter, Insomnia, Jerald’s Game, Delores claiborne and assorted short stories with strong women characters will like this one.
I took the Meta smartglasses to Disney’s Animal Kingdom last week. Aside from asking for detailed descriptions of scenes several times, I decided to try my hand at taking pics. Here’s a collage of the top 5.
After 5 days of running in circles and hard work to get out of those circles, I can now show off the next chapter in my life.
The last few days have been a whirlwind of setting up the new website and filing the paperwork to start my new company–Control Alt Access LLC. Watch this space for more details.
After 10 years, I’ve been layed off. I knew it was a bad idea to take medical leave, but it couldn’t be helped…
So after my GPT experience yesterday, I looked into their pro plan to get more live video time–it’s $200 a month–no way! I finally broke down and bought Meta Glasses. I want that live video feature available to me–always.
This is the video of me using ChatGPT to find a Monster energy drink at 7-Eleven. It didn’t upload yesterday.
I discovered ChatGPT’s new live video feature. I tried to use it to find a Monster energy drink at 7-eleven. Thought I’d found it, only to discovered I’d actually grabbed a dark beer. Wound up accidentally inebriated at work.
