The studio

Hi, I’m Thomas. I’m a tech enthusiast and an AI enthusiast, and as far as I can tell I’m just living the dream.

Most of what you see here gets made at this desk, under a neon sign that only goes on when important things are happening. It is on quite a lot.

The rest happens on an iMac in the living room, which is where Cognira lives. It has a status page. The status page mostly checks whether the iMac is up.

Want to say hello? Email gigachad@thethomas.tech. Yes, that is the real address.
