New Haircut
He specifically requested to go to my stylist again instead of a discount haircuttery. Schuyler did an awesome job, as always.
Happy New Year 2024!
New year, new techo!
My focus for this year is to do Future Me a solid. That could look different on any given day: organizing stuff now so I don’t have to fuss with it later, re-establishing healthy habits so I don’t have to use mental energy to make conscious decisions about what to eat or how to be active, or even giving myself permission to play a game while I have some down time.
Future Me will be glad to have 2024 more well-documented in my blog than the past couple of years have been, too.
Merry Christmas 2023
Merry Christmas from Aaron, Diana, Connor, and Baxter!
Foray Into AI Art
A couple of months back, Connor told me about an AI art website he found that renders photos in an anime style. I’d never actually tried out any of the AI content generation tools that are out there, so when he asked if we could try it out, I was game.
I took a photo of Connor and uploaded it, then tagged it with Connor’s suggested prompts of boy, strong, and muscles.
After a few minutes, we got some results.
Despite Connor wearing a shirt in his source photo, all of the AI results were shirtless. They also all wore sneakers and had the wrong number of fingers. It was cool to see how the AI interpreted the environment and changed it to vibe with the anime style: the duffel bag hanging on the closet doorknob became a box or basket sitting on a pile of something, and the carpet and closet doors became wood planks.
It was a fun experiment, but I don’t see myself having a need to delve deeper into AI art anytime soon.
