I’ve been exploring ElevenLabs TTS for synthesized audiobook narration. ElevenLabs have recently announced a community initiative encouraging discussion about the project (the incentive being TTS character allocation).

I visited Greece last year, spending a week in Athens and then another in Thessaloniki to attend a wedding. I took so many pictures and they’re just languishing in my phone, so I decided put them into a small travel post.

I was always excited about the possibilities recent developments in LLM-powered workflows provide. At the same time, I was also wary about the larger implications of these things, from the whole theft problem to wondering “I wonder when this thing is going to become self-aware”.

I’ve been using portable writing setups for a while. I started with an AlphaSmart Neo. This was great, but with the screen angle being fixed not as versatile as I had wanted.
