I can't believe I missed this but it pleases me greatly that it's been confirmed that Simpsons writer John Swartzwelder is real. Granted one picture of him was out there but the accusation that he was a collective pseudonym for Jon Vitti or other writers was possible.

My favorite Swartzwelder story was that he did the bulk of his writing in the same booth in the same diner, smoking and drinking coffee, then bought that booth and had it installed at home after California banned indoor smoking. Unfortunately, he denied it in the article so be careful what you wish for.
The man is the closest thing to an IRL Ron Swanson probably.
My website used to be a few lines of centered text. Now it's a 3D workbench where a circuit board gets routed, drilled, assembled and flashed, then turns into a handheld game you can play at https://solohm.com/
I built it by talking to Claude Code running Opus 5.5. These are my two prompts, dictated, word for word, mistakes and all:
"The Solohm website here is minimalist, as you can tell, by looking at the index file. I'm wondering if I should change that to be something more dramatic, like an animation of how development's done today. Something I use is 3.0 JS, maybe that circuit board kind of flies into a workbench, and it's blank. And then the traces are put on the circuit board, and the holes are drilled on the circuit board for the connectors. And then surface mount parts fly in and stick to the surface to the circuit board connectors are added. Then a laptop pops up onto the desktop, and we run Claude Code in a terminal window and write some firmware and connect the board to the laptop, and download...
