#Introduction time! Let's call it dragfyre 101.

I'm a (front-end) web dev, educator, blogger, dad, husband, Baha'i, and world citizen. I have deep thoughts about human nature and character, virtue #ethics, cooperation, #culture, #spirituality, #language, #education & #learning, #UX, #AI, #HCI, #Internet, and the interaction of all of the above. Google me and you'll find me on Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, Wikipedia, etc. I try to do the right thing. No politics or drama plz, and keep it SFW kthx.

So, I've posted an #introduction about myself, but maybe it's time for one for my #bots.

- @xyzzy: Interactive text adventure that posts random scenarios hourly.
- @lol: Mashes up toots from the public timeline at #MastodonSandwich.
- @videodreams: Dreamy gifs made from 100% free online content.
- @laughingman: Tracks the Laughing Man's rampage through old public domain videos.
- @bahai@botsin.space: Regular quotes from the Bahá'í sacred writings.
- @bahai@newsbots.eu: The latest from various Bahá'í news feeds.

Is there some kind of lesson to be learned today?

Haven't had a lot to say lately. I guess I'm not really In a sharing mood. 🤷‍♂️

Head so deep in #webdev stuff. I need a permanent vacation or something. 😵

Have a warm cup of ☕ on a cold day. #cofe

@xyzzy is name-dropping like it wants venture capital or something. #bots

Your mission: create a bot that's able to beat humans at singing karaoke. How do you go about it?

Smile, though your heart is breaking 🎵

I just remembered a #dream that may be relevant to your interests, fediversians.

I had a dream that @Fairphone sent me and everyone I know a free Fairphone 3 as a promotional gift, you know, to get buzz going. Except the phones they sent us were big red flip-phones made out of this light, rough plastic like the kind you'd expect a kid's play structure to be made of.

I was still pretty impressed with mine because IIRC it still worked well, and you know, ethical sourcing and all that. 😎

#Travel question for you all: Does anyone still travel internationally by passenger boat (i.e. not on cruises)? I'm thinking of the kind of ocean-liner traffic that was so common around the turn of the 20th century.
