I've dressed my avatar for the occasion. Note the curl, bit of cape, and eyes heating up.

Superman Day
Posted 4:00 PM by Gerald So
For the second year in a row, DC Comics is celebrating Superman today, the anniversary of Action Comics #1 in 1938.
I've dressed my avatar for the occasion. Note the curl, bit of cape, and eyes heating up.

Topo? Arigato.
Posted 4:00 PM by Gerald So
A recent corn on the pinky toe of my left foot led me to learn what causes corns, how to home-remedy them, and how to prevent them.
I already wear wide toe box shoes, but the corn painfully told me my everyday pair (ASICS Gel-Kayano 30) wouldn't do. Along with roomier toe boxes, I wanted decent cushioning and low drop. Topo Atmos delivered all three.

Goodbye, .ai.

Updating my Bluesky profile the other day, I pinned a new post:
Just above the post, my bio listed my Mastodon account at masto.ai, a bad look.
I joined masto.ai to ease the load on mstdn.social during the 2022 Twitter migration. The same great admin runs both, but .ai (for Anguilla) has always been too close to AI for my liking.
I only just realized I could return to mstdn.social. And so, happily, I have.

I don't want AI's help w/ anything, including social media. #Attie

The Blog Shuffle
Posted 6:00 AM by Gerald So
Earlier today, the blog description I'd used for years caught my eye: "St. Mary's, Hofstra, Queens College...That Gerald So"
First thing: Without a period, it wasn't a sentence. Second: If I mean it to be a sentence that trails off and picks up, shouldn't "That" be "that?"
How to resolve these issues? Title the blog THAT GERALD SO and make its description a sentence that ends with an ellipsis.

Projekt Osterhase
Posted 5:30 PM by Gerald So
Years ago, I made a Yahoo! Avatar of myself in an Easter Bunny costume. It involved mixing stock hairstyles, faces, outfits, and backgrounds.
Last March I began watching tutorials on how to draw faces, adapting the techniques to Inkscape, and I made a front-facing bunny costume avatar from scratch.
In time for Easter this year, I've made a three-quarter view version:
