Moving on
It’s been a great 7 years as CTO and co-founder at Future Visual, but it’s now time to look for new adventures starting later in 2023. I’m primarily focused on new technology and Unity; VR, AR, and Vision Pro are of particular interest, as is building and leading a team. I’m currently only looking for […]
Voice > Whisper STT API > ChatGPT Turbo API > Google TTS API demo
Since OpenAI released their ChatGPT Turbo & Whisper API’s a few days ago, there’s a whole bunch of voice > Whisper > ChatGPT > TTS demos, so I had to do one too.

Overpass QL – Drawing land borders and coastlines
This is mainly for Google, as I couldn’t find anything that actually did this in OSM. I’d have thought there would be an option to draw the borders of a state/country etc including the coastline and land borders, but apparently not.

Flappy Birds clone with ChatGPT and Python Originally posted on Medium Inspired by Andy Touch’s tweet, I thought I’d see if ChatGPT could create a Flappy Bird clone. Let’s go! “in python, make a flappy birds clone” It generated the following Python: Ok but did it run? It did! Repeatedly hit the spacebar to move up, […]
ChatGPT and programming: Incredible. Terrifying. I love it.

Galactic Unicorns and Custom Pimoroni Pico Firmware
Galactic Unicorns and Custom Pimoroni Pico Firmware Originally posted on Medium I bought an excellent Galactic Unicorn from Pimoroni, with the aim of connecting a Time-of-Flight sensor (VL53L5CX) to use as input for the board, connecting it over the QW/ST using I2C.

Ray-Ban Stories — notes
Ray-Ban Stories — notes Aka Facebook privacy nightmare shades. Most of my day, I have an Oculus Quest 2 on my head, so obviously I have surrendered my soul to Facebook already. Most reviews seem to cover privacy concerns, so I’m going to ignore that. Go read those if you’re interested in that — and you should be. I […]
