Chat Bubbles in Jekyll
Recent posts of mine here have a “chat bubble” conversation effect to emulate an AI chat and could be used as well to reference phone calls, texts, obviously many short conversational narrative styles. Here’s a quick write up on how that was done for anyone interested, but myself mostly as I’ll forget if it’s not written down.
Is Grok Racist?

A question was posed recently to Elon Musk’s “Grok”, an AI LLM integrated into Twitter or X. The LLM itself has comically admitted being tuned to Right Wing bias at Musk’s directive. An ironic overcorrection for the liberal bias pervasive in social media algorithms and the software biz in general with an epicenter of San Francisco. But do these biases programmed in make Grok inherently racist?
Are We the Terminators?
Let’s talk about something that doesn’t matter supposedly—early AI-related layoffs. Or better yet, let’s talk about how sure we are that they don’t matter. I just scrolled through a whole thread of confident hot takes that basically read: “He probably deserved it.”
Trump, Elon, Jeffrey, Catturd
Personally I’m not too concerned with the Epstein flight logs. If a billionaire hedge fund guy says hey Ray want to come with us? We’re flying to my tropical private island. Woody Allen and Bill Clinton are coming also there’s girls and booze and snorkeling and seadoo…STOP don’t overtalk the sale Jeffrey you had me at Woody Allen to be honest. Have you seen Crimes & Misdemeanors? And sex and snorkeling sounds fun too.

What is it?
Honestly, some testing for a project but as a visualization or art piece it’s pretty cool.

Me on the sidelines? What? Yeah, I don’t know. I’ve talked about it, posted about the roadmap — certainly in broad strokes. And this was a range of significance. What I didn’t plan for is that something would shake me, and I’d stand on the court holding the ball, forgetting what team I’m on, what game I’m playing. What is winning anyway, and why do I want that again? Dangerous questions. If you’re thinking that’s not good — yeah. May 2025 will prove my most expensive month in years. More than my California vacation, which included Rolling Stones pit tickets + Cage tickets. 4x more if including lost revenue potential and highly questionable spending.
Free of FUD: Ctrl Alt Del
Yesterday, or a lifetime ago—one of a few now—I was forced to start life over. Not like a career change, I mean over. A reset of everything: friends, family, decades in business, my woman of near a decade, bank accounts, house, cars, my suits, shirts, boxers, even my damn CDs and that Italian couch. Everything.
GOP Sales and Marketing Class of ‘25
I’ll make this a quickie. On Mexico we are doing cruel things to good people based on lies and it’s going to come back.
Fly the Friendly Deportation Skies
Who doesn’t support getting rid of terrorist gangs? Don’t look at me I’d be worse than Trump. But I remember Kamala trying to cozy up to the far-left fringe by likening ICE to the KKK. No real argument. Just a cheap, pandering line meant to hit a nerve. And at the time, it was stunning.
cloudfront invalidations by cli
Note to self on cache invalidation for cloudfront via aws cli as I for some reason always used the web and rarely mess in AWS these days.

The recent explosion at my house left me a bit tattered and scarred. A solid start to a playlist backstory, right?
Adding Favicons to Jekyll Part 2
OK we made an icon we like, edited it, compressed it. It’s web ready and time to add, but we aren’t using a flat html page. These are generated by the Jekyll builder. Easy enough to just hardcode a tag and path, force it in. But is that what we want? Lets try and fit it in more seamlessly so we improve the process for next time.
Adding Favicons to Jekyll Part 1
Quick project here to add favicons to my Github Pages Jekyll. I never know what to make as an icon so end up putting it off or copying icons from somewhere else. Which is fine until you see all the fails in your server logs. Or go to build a progressive web app, or the worst has gotta be a chrome extension manifest v2+. If you know you know.
Page Info Bookmarklet
Another bookmarklet simpler than my recent ones this ones goes back a bit. I would say 2017 following the first Bitcion run andf subsequent pullback.
Page Dependencies Bookmarklet Javascript
For a currently loaded page, show the script and style references as full path as a table overlaid above the page.
DOM Inspection Getting Unique Classes and IDs
There may be instances perhaps we’re looking at coverage and cleaning up unnecessary CSS, to comb through and the DOM and see what types of elements are actively loaded. Whatever your case is here are some ways we can parse the currently loaded page.

Fancy CSS Header
In this article I’m going to cover an easy, fun, pure CSS animation to add flare to a website. I will also outline the practical steps for how I’m including this trick into a Jekyll site. This very site in fact.
