Housekeeping<\/h2>\n

\ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

I cleaned the bug off the inside of my scanner.<\/strong> It was easier than I expected. Now my archival scans will be smudge free.<\/p>\n

I ordered a new tape player for digitizing my old cassettes.<\/strong> It arrived Tuesday. Since I have bad luck with audio cables, I chose a player with a USB connection. I ended the week with copying the first tape of a family history interview with my grandparents.<\/p>\n

Productivity<\/h2>\n

:thinking:<\/span><\/p>\n

To help with my sleep schedule, I\u2019m turning back to Elastic Habits<\/a>.<\/strong> Maybe gamification will remotivate me. I\u2019m giving myself more leeway this time with a bedtime around 11 instead of 10.<\/p>\n

AI<\/h2>\n

B-)<\/p>\n

I finally tried Stable Diffusion<\/a>, and it gave me a sense of connection.<\/strong> I was trying to replicate an old image I remembered, and I ended up with one I would usually ignore, but this time it caught my attention and evoked a scenario in my mind. So I asked the chatbot Claude<\/a> for a story based on my premise, and it gave me a nice little vignette to explore. My investment in this image and story left me caring about the character Claude and I created and the real people in her situation. As I work with generative AI, I\u2019m hoping for more experiences like this.<\/p>\n
