A few weeks back I wrote up my experience with generative AI as a dungeon master. That post ended up being really popular and got me thinking about other ways I could integrate D & D, or other games, with Generative AI. With Gemini 1.5 now available via API, I thought it would be good to find an excuse to hit the API in a demo. So with that in mind, I'd like to introduce you to the Class Suggester.

For some time now, I've relied on my Netlify Analytics report to keep track of how well my site is doing, what content is popular, and so forth. I was a Google Analytics user for over ten years, but when they updated the UI, I saw red every time I tried to use it. Netlify Analytics is super simple and quick. (My only real complaint is that it's limited to 30 days, but I've got free access to the feature so I'm happy to not care about that.) I complement Netlify Analytics with GoatCounter as well. Netify's analytics show much more traffic than Goat, and I figure the truth is somewhere in the middle, and again, I'm fine with that.

My regular readers (hello, yall rock!) know I've been playing with generative AI the past few months. I'm still a bit skeptical about the amount of hype involved around the space, but I'm slowly getting more excited as I see some of the interesting possibilities available with these tools. Most of my recent exploration has been on the Google Gemini side, but after hearing my buddy Todd Sharp talk about Amazon Bedrock on his stream yesterday, I figured it was time to check it out. (FYI, you should absolutely check out his weekly Twitch show on the AWS Twitch channel called "Streaming on Streaming" - Wednesdays at 3PM CST.)

Forgive the somewhat silly title, but it's not like I haven't been silly here before. Almost four years ago I wrote a little post about a random text-generated app called the "Queen Maker": Let's Make Everyone a Queen!. The idea for that app (which lives on at queenof.netlify.app) was to use a random text library called Tracery to generate random short "queen-based" stories. Yeah, that may not make much sense, but read the earlier post or play with the app to see.

For those who celebrate, happy Easter. For me, this is more 'second day after the Shingles shot recovery' day. Here are some links to start off your week. I almost wish today was tomorrow so I could sprinkle in some April Fool's jokes, but I'm sure there will be plenty of that around the internet tomorrow.

A few days ago I wrote up an exploration I did in Spam APIs, "Spam APIs in 2024". After working on those demos and writing up my findings, I thought it might be interesting to see how a generative AI tool, like Google's Gemini would handle such a task.

Yesterday I introduced you to Adobe's new offering, Firefly Services, and demonstrated a simple example of how to generate images from prompt using the REST APIs. Today I thought I'd share one of the little demos I've made with the API, and one specifically built to help out with my blog - generating headers.
