Fury Unleashed

On the straights it snarls, a low‑slung, orange painted beast that translates every ounce of its 600 hp into pure, unfiltered acceleration. The chassis is taut, the steering precise—each turn feels like a conversation with the road, and the engine answers with a throaty, high‑rev symphony that demands respect. It rewards the driver who dares to push the envelope: razor‑quick response, adaptive aerodynamics that cling at 150 mph, and a cockpit that feels less like a seat and more like a command center. Slip the shifter, feel the rear‑wheel bite, and you’ll understand why the car’s balance is as much art as engineering. In a lineage that includes the Mustang GT, the 911 Carrera, and the Vantage, this marvel stakes its claim as a moder driver’s icon—raw performance, timeless silhouette, and a promise that every lap is a story worth telling. — AI-generated using Gemini

Building My Own Watch Face Editor

I have an Amazfit T-Rex 2 on my wrist most days, and a Balance 2 for when I’m pretending to be civilized. Both run Zepp OS. Both came with plenty of watch faces. None of them were quite what I wanted.

Zepp has tools for making faces, but I wanted something that worked the way I think. Drag things around on a round screen. See what it will look like. Press a button and get something I can put on the watch.

From Rogue on Unix to an AI-Built Dungeon on My Wrist

Around 1980, some of the first computer games I played were terminal games on a Unix system. One of them was Rogue.

There were no elaborate graphics. The dungeon appeared as text characters: rooms, corridors, treasure, and monsters represented by symbols and letters. Your character was an @. It took surprisingly little to turn a terminal screen into a place you wanted to explore.

Building a Newsletter Builder

One of the programs I have been working on is a newsletter builder. The idea is fairly simple: take a folder of Word documents and photographs and turn it into a club newsletter, with a consistent layout and a PDF ready to distribute.

A newsletter involves quite a bit of repetitive work. Articles arrive as separate documents, pictures may be embedded in those documents or supplied separately, and the club information needs to appear in every issue. Then there are headlines, captions, page numbers, and all the little adjustments that make the result look finished.

This seemed like a useful project for AI-assisted programming.

More AI coding – Amazfit and Zepp OS

A bit more than a year ago I tried using AI to write some apps that I could use on my Amazfit watches. At that time I had one watch, the TREX-2

I later added the Balance 2, which is a bit more dressy

Compared to Apple, Google, or Samsung watches, I think these are a much better value. Anyway, back to writing an app for them. When I first tried, each AI I tried could not accomplish what I wanted. It came down to two issues, one was that they couldn’t find the Zepp OS documentation, and second they were terrible at writing the necessary code.

Well today I tried again and in no time I was able to create two apps.

Comparison of free AI’s scripting for Blender

The latest rage (as of 10-19-2026) is AI driven 2d image to 3d model. Sites like Meshy, Trippo, and Trellis all let you upload a 2d image and get back a 3d model. The problem with these is the quality of the model. All it is is a collection of meshes that you can’t really edit or change in Blender. So I decided to see what the free levels of AI can do.

Celtic cross from my CAD program

Midnight & Marble: The Street‑Sculpted Sedan

Midnight & Marble: The Street‑Sculpted Sedan Glide through Manhattan’s grid like a blade through silk—torque‑rich V‑6 whispers from a twin‑tone chassis that devours corners and commands attention. The steering feels like an extension of your wrist, delivering feedback sharp enough to taste the pavement yet supple enough to coax confidence from every line. It rewards the driver who respects balance: brakes that bite, a chassis tuned for poise, and an interior that whispers precision without drowning the senses. This isn’t an SUV in disguise; it’s a true driver’s machine, built for those who chase the perfect blend of power and elegance. In the lineage of New York’s iconic roadsters, this sedan stakes its claim—refined aggression, unmistakable presence, and a driving experience that writes its own chapter in the legend of the open‑road elite. — AI-generated with OpenAI’s DALL·E image-generation model via ChatGPT.
