Formerly a teacher errant; now merely an occasionally erring teacher. And part-time robot.

@AlanGerding Awesome! I would love that! Definitely planning to start in a place that has wide, carpeted staircases! 😅

@AlanGerding Hi Alan, I'm a teacher in the UK and a fan of big games and big silliness. I recently heard Quintin Smith talking about Werewolf in the Dark on the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast and would love to look at doing some tests in a large house in the UK. Can we DM?

Have been a Sci-Fi fan for decades without being aware of Frederic Brown. 🤷‍♂️

Answer, 1954:

He turned to face the machine. “Is there a God?”

The mighty voice answered without hesitation, without the clicking of single relay.

“Yes, now there is a God.”

Just watched that Derren Brown show. 90 minutes of people having their minds blown by having not noticed things that were right in front of them.

Then my wife told me that the voice in the McDonald's ads is Dexter Fletcher. And has been for years.

That really is pretty cool. I've been playing around with 3D scanning for years at this point and it's always tended to be awful or impractically involved to pull off without specialist equipment. This took about 30 seconds. @LumaLabsAI https://t.co/mmcXX9Oer9

As a shameless early-adopter, I've been doing a lot of mucking around with generative AI. This week I created a vocal clone and gave it an existential crisis.

@9to5Google Hi. Late update to an old article (https://t.co/XhPaUO8CRQ), but wanted to add that Logitech Circle 2 camera does in-app preview. Frustrating that so many don't and wonder if the arrival of Matter will change that picture in any way in future...

@SouthernRailUK @nationalrailenq Thank you! They are a real credit to the team. So kind and so understanding.

[Lez Laig @lezlaig]

@nationalrailenq I just wanted to write to pass on thanks to the wonderful platform staff at Purley station, who yesterday kindly and patiently rescued my young daughter's dropped toy from the track safely and without delaying any trains or journeys. Thank you!

[Lez Laig @lezlaig]

@nationalrailenq @SouthernRailUK Thank you very much!

[Lez Laig @lezlaig]

P.S. - At the start, they asked me if it was real. I hate lying to them, so I said it was made up, but we could pretend if we wanted to. After a solemn nod, they have acted as if it was real from that moment on, because that's just more fun. 100% magic, 0% conscience conflict.

The best holiday activities for kids are the ones that take on lives of their own to continue independently. Thanks to @PDEnrich, we've had hours of (basically zero-preparation) fun since we discovered that a hoebble has come to visit... 🧵

Parenting note: all I had to do was set up a small pile of pebbles & sticks, then show the kids a website with a short video (2 mins) when they asked about it. The rest has all been them. Instructions in the link below. 🧵

@HeroForgeMinis Hi, have you considered an option to export as .obj files so people can download in colour? This would be great for those w/ VTTs, 3D models (SketchUp) or full colour 3D printers. Having only .stl and specific VTT options seems like a miss. People would buy them.

@RestorationGame Hi. I've had a support ticket open but the replies have stopped. I've just DMed. Please can you help?

[Lez Laig @lezlaig]

@Chronopost Merci Samuel. J'ai envoyé un message en DM et j'attends une réponse.
