Went on a nature walk with 3yo this morning and we saw:
-so many birds
-lots of turtles
-a deer
-even a snake
-lots of people with doggies too

But by far the most exciting sighting was:
-baby geese and baby ducklings

A female mallard duck and two ducklings, near the water's edge.

Have inadvertently gotten 5yo interested in a fiber art by virtue of They Have Looms In Minecraft

And I do actually have a loom! I haven't used this one yet and only have a little experience weaving, but I do have a loom. I'm pretty sure it's one that's made for kids, too.

We're gonna do like, square checks in a few shades of green and tapestry weave a creeper face in there.

And I do have a lot of green yarn.

@geraineon I have already had to tell him No, you cannot stream on twitch at age 5 🤣

@geraineon I have not heard of any 5 year olds doing this, although apparently someone in my 7yo's class has a youtube channel (don't know the subject/content)

He just thought it's cool and wanted to do it himself

This morning I am sitting at a window seat at the bike path cafe, enjoying a salad, tea, and a delicious cookie, and planning to head to the library when I'm done. Unfortunately it has started raining.

That was. Very damp. However, the books stayed dry in the bike trailer!

Starting a reading thread for #CultivatingInC

So far, this novel is taking a much more realistic approach to AI than Happy Doomsday 🤣

ehyde,
@ehyde@federatedfandom.net avatar

@geraineon it's by the author of Little Mushroom so I figure even the non realistic scifi pieces will be well thought out

The first four chapters of this have a really excellent translation. After that... well, it's not the worst I've read. But I do wish the other translator had continued.

I am going to have to ask someone else how this book is from the pov of a reader who is a programmer, I'm just here with my fiber arts degree like "yay I love science fiction" 😆 #CultivatingInC

ehyde,
@ehyde@federatedfandom.net avatar

Romance is NOT at the forefront of this novel so far, which is fine (and not unexpected, given this is by the author of Little Mushroom).

There's two storylines--Lin Xun's cultivation and Lin Xun's startup--and they're clearly connected somehow but right now they're mostly happening separately, and currently the cultivation story is taking the forefront while the ml is more on the startup side of things. #CultivatingInC

ehyde,
@ehyde@federatedfandom.net avatar

Mentally referred to Lin Xun as a "programmer trying to get funding for his AI startup" and immediately took ten points of psychic damage.

I do have to say I'm hoping the "my leet hacker skillz make me totally op" arc will be over soon. I was led to believe there's more to the book than that.

Apparently in ye olden dayes you might buy the pages of a book, unbound, and have it bound according to your budget & taste.

Anyway this is what ebooks are for, yes?
