Welcome to TJ’s Spot!

What took you so long to find the place?

Hearkens back to the good old days hanging out at Brun’s in Dayton, OH—after work, after racquetball, after golf, watching the Browns. Good times.

About…

Not a brand. Just a guy with too many computers, a fondness for good conversations, and way too many hobbies. TJ’s Spot is where all that stuff comes together—no cover charge, just grab a stool and see what’s on tap.

  • 🍻 Pull up a stool and meet the guy behind the site. It’s not all algorithms and AI—we’ve got backstories too.
  • 📦 Odds and ends, papers and projects. This is the digital garage where everything gets stashed.
  • 📇 Got a question? Want to buy the bartender a digital drink? Here’s where you drop a line.
  • 🗨️ The good stuff lives here—chat logs, blog posts, and bar stool rants with AI. Pull up a tab.

Stuff…

This is where I stash the stuff that doesn’t fit neatly anywhere else—papers I’ve written, books we’ve cobbled together, and a rotating gallery of glasswork and generated images. Think of it like a garage sale—but curated.

Books

Collaborative brainchildren. Some serious, some not so much.


Papers

Real work. Real research. Sometimes even useful.


Images

Glass, fantasy and whatever else I was into that month.

Conversations

This is where the real fun happens. Whether it’s deep talks with Claude, late-night weirdness with Gemini, or the occasional AI bar joke that got out of hand—this is the record of it all.

Check out the latest below, or head over to the Conversations page to pull up a stool and start browsing.

  • Gemini Intro

    I introduce Gemini and he gives me tips on the best way to interact with him from his point of view.
