This is #IndieGame right?

It’s awfully fun. I only tetris the down-to-earth shapes! Noo taking the chance.

A little dog with woods in the background and the photo is quite blurred with the dog figure because the little dog is rushing and running to see something. Slow-motion capture.

Wot dat?? Gotta go see.

A little dog with grey-black ears and some grayness near eyes and upper body and around tail-end. Little dog is looking at the camera with tail up. Background is tree bottom and grass and little dog is standing on paved road that is grey-black.

Burrito wonders why she is taking photos of her the 5th time of a day.

Listening to a talk about NodeXL for social network analysis to understand social media interactions (liking, sharing, friending etc).

Fascinating to hear this: social media is a "marketplace of ideas" and "we need our accountants."

Quick question: If I upload actual screenshots of my work to the computer screen in your game, is it stored locally or in your cloud? @goghjpn.bsky.social

I ask because I find it improving productivity (by having my actual work on the screen) but wonder about privacy.

Oh bye bye little one, I'm glad you actually enjoyed my accompany.

Game interface shows a little egg bunny being born on Day 6 whose name is Bonkuro on the upper left screen. The descriptions underneath Day 6, profile picture of this bunny whose name is Bonkuro and now is an adult, has a mood of Pout, it shows. On the other side of the screen, this bunny has glowing eyes and fang teeth, completely dark body, and floats on a book.

I have been playing this Focus game to help me get work done. I think every 9 days, they give you a new companion that floats on a book. My last companion wrote me a heart-broken letter and "farewell-ed" before I knew it. This new one was born grumpy, and now is pouty. #game #focus

Our dog brought in a very dead mouse during the hottest days and nature was doing its job degrading it so there were many bug-crawlings.

"I fix dinner!"
(Humans catching crawling worms in the background.)

This is a laptop with a dog paw on the touching pad.

I help. #productivefriday

My personal view of short-video scrolling is dialectical. It exists and we should explore. A medium exists, then we shall look into it.

Here is a guide from APA for parents to guide teens for healthy video viewing.

Today I won't be done until 8 at night and I think I'm going to close my shop for now and return in a couple of hours.

I think a raccoon has made a neighbor with us. The dogs told me.

Netflix is doing short video too.

“…even a streaming giant with over 300 million subscribers is concerned about losing viewers’ time spent on mobile to apps like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels.”

Hooray to everyone who finished NCA reviews. I got 3 done and feel pretty wiped out.

Thanks!

Oh I missed this. Do you have any recording available?

Happy Aloha Friday everyone.

书册埋头无了日，不如抛却去寻春。

是朱熹的七言绝句吧。形容我正好。

I have been buried in books all day, so I might as well put them aside and go look for spring.

This is a seven-character quatrain by Zhu Xi. It describes me just right.

This is a screen shot that shows an editorial interface where the status for four papers are "review completed."

Two more for NCA.

So I guess people are studying visual language models (VLMs) now. Is it a subset of LLM or a new field?

Five more.

Reviewing one paper now. Six in total.

Was supposed to work today; but instead, I washed the dog.

🥺

Well, our dog learned to open the door on her own, not to go outside, but to go to places where you are trying to work/sleep.

Her tutorial would go like this: first, you stand up & paw the door, paw it more. Keep pawing. Then immediately look innocent when there's a crack.

My diploma arrived in the mail today.
