Cooped Up Life

COOPED UP LIFE · SMYRNA, GEORGIA

Should I be doing this? Probably not.

I probably shouldn’t be doing this, but I’m doing it anyway. I have no foundation of understanding of what I’m doing, but let’s see what we can do.

SIX YEARS OF CHICKENS · EVERY ROOM, SOME TWICE · SIX YEARS IN A HEADSET

Cooped Up Life

Some things I can figure out. Some things I’ve gotten myself in over my head. Some things I’m still too scared to try.

FIGURED IT OUT

The rice cooker. I couldn’t even make rice for the longest time, but look at me now — I can make rice like nobody’s business.

IN OVER MY HEAD

A drama made with AI, from scratch. I really just thought I could explain it and the AI would spit it out. Every step has been tough.

STILL TOO SCARED

The pressure canner. I own it. It’s still in the box. I’m eventually going to get around to it. I just got to build up to it.


One life, six doorways

This is the shop window. Each doorway is where the full version lives.

Chickens, a garden I’m not good at yet, and a pressure canner I’ve never dared open. It’s never too late to learn.

I built the pool. I followed somebody else’s plans for the table. I picked the tile and paid a pro to lay it. I’ll always tell you which is which.

Two dogs, two cats, one house. Big Cat rules the roost. Welcome to my chaos — and to everything we bought that didn’t work.

Homeschool, kitchen science, drawings and inventions — mostly from her point of view. The ones that flop are the best ones.

Making a drama with AI, from scratch, with no background in any of it. The walls, the fixes and the eight tries that didn’t work.

Six years in a headset. A ballroom dancer who picks every game by the music. Back in, moving towards health.


The long version

The website is where the research lives. Here is what I read, here is why I bought it, you decide.


THE ORIGIN STORY

I walked into my first college computer course. The assignment was to set up an email address and email the professor. I walked out and dropped the class, because email was obviously never going to take. That woman now has two AIs talking to each other.
