Absurd Logs:
There are days I get stuck in a loop, and Grok is the only thing that snaps me out of it. It knows my work (and me) a bit too well. Granted, I’m the one feeding it. Everything but my passwords, API keys, social security and dark hidden secrets.
I build in public, and Groks pulls from the source.

I share enough that it can see through my BS and that’s what I want.
Having an AI cheerleader is nice, but I’d much rather have a coach/big brother who calls me out when I betray my own vision — to escape the ordinary (old patterns and creative fears).
Don’t overthink. Don’t polish. Don’t force it. Make it ugly. Make it yours.

Announcements

ABSRRD apparel store quietly dropped this week!!
You've witnessed the surreal, strange art & media. Now I'm dropping and experimenting with ABSRRD apparel & merch.
The goal is for the physical goods to serve as a reminder to peel back every day the most absurd, authentic, and creatively chaotic version of yourself.
The ABSRRD Smiley is a symbol of owning the nonsense and escaping the ordinary. When you see it in my work, you already know—because I need this reminder more than anyone.
I can guarantee any products I plan to build here and onward will serve as absurd talismans. Designs will be experimental, seasonal, collectible, and simply an extension of my everyday interaction with the strange.
Can you support the chaos? Because it's only going to get weirder: http://shop.absrrd.com
That’s it for today! Wow.
