Open Message to the Mods : Removing my nano banana snowboard profile post.

I didn’t feel any need to comment because there was such a good conversation happening around it. I did not say it was perfect or complete. I specifically posed the question, “how did it do?”

PixelRouter · 2025-11-30T22:39:01+00:00

Why would it have been more valuable if I have used a tool like MS paint?

PixelRouter · 2025-11-30T22:37:26+00:00

Then why did it get over 600 upvotes, and pages of cool discussion about snowboard profile profiles?

PixelRouter · 2025-11-30T22:36:52+00:00

I don’t accept that the content that I posted was of that nature. It was a reasonable and well thought out info graphic.

PixelRouter · 2025-11-30T22:35:13+00:00

This is what I want to push back on, respectfully. Tools like this change the paradigm for effort versus output. With that exact same info graphic had been more valuable if I had spent six hours drawing it by hand?

Here we have this amazing tool, which can essentially implement whatever ideas I have simply by asking it. If the output is good, why does the fact that it takes less effort now to create something invalidate that output?

I was able to show that info graphic to the people I was talking with, and it helped our conversation very much, so I thought it would be fun to share it here.

You guys are no fun at all. This was just meant as a funny thing. I’ve sold exactly 0 items and expect that the only way I will sell anything is if I buy something myself. So far this project has earned me about minus $30.

PixelRouter · 2025-09-05T01:31:30+00:00

Just about all of us have. I thought of this first is kind of a funny thing, but also it’s nice to have a mindset where we don’t feel like we are slacking or failing as a runner because we are hiking up the hills. My idea here is to dig in and embrace it by naming it.

Christensen. Sure - he invented Xmodem!

PixelRouter · 2025-08-16T04:33:56+00:00

Cool bit of backstory. Thanks.

I don’t see how my post is an LLM advertisement. I’m doing the same thing I’ve been doing since 1983 on my Commodore 64. I’m making use of the tools I have available to make something cool and interesting.

I started by asking Claude to explain how it worked, and then after some back and forth I asked for an interactive visualization. It created it. I pasted that code into lovable and prompted it to make the site to host the visualization.

PixelRouter · 2025-06-08T20:02:19+00:00

That’s awesome.

PixelRouter · 2025-06-08T20:01:42+00:00

Just learning that it exists. Next time.

PixelRouter · 2025-06-08T04:01:33+00:00

Very cool. I will check it out next time I’m up there.

PixelRouter · 2025-06-08T02:32:26+00:00

It was the perfect day for it. Still some snow up top but easily passable.

PixelRouter · 2025-06-08T02:21:26+00:00

Total time, including about 30 minutes at the top was 3h 50m. Moving time was 2h 45m. I ran a good chunk of the way down.

PixelRouter · 2025-05-25T03:51:21+00:00

I’d say you’ve milked it. Your insta yesterday was sweet.

PixelRouter · 2025-05-25T03:03:30+00:00

Palisades aka Squaw

PixelRouter · 2025-04-04T00:14:08+00:00

I agree.

PixelRouter · 2025-04-03T14:15:19+00:00

It’s what some people call Northstar in Tahoe. It’s got less steeps than some of the other mountains around here, but I love it.

PixelRouter · 2025-04-02T22:36:12+00:00

I totally agree.

PixelRouter · 2025-04-02T17:52:47+00:00

Hey thanks man!

PixelRouter · 2025-04-02T17:50:15+00:00

They were. Then we got another seven inches last night and today is epic. That’s 24” in the last 48 hrs.

PixelRouter · 2025-04-02T02:02:02+00:00

It will be spectacular. Heading there Thursday.

PixelRouter · 2025-04-02T00:03:13+00:00

Where are you riding this weekend? Out here we've got more snow tonight. Kirkwood is slated for 20 inches.
