Scratchpad

Welcome to my Scratchpad!

Like the name suggests, I use this page as a quick and temporary drafting space for notes and list making. Nothing on this page is intended to stay for very long, and will eventually be moved to somewhere else around this website.

Art & Photography Inventory:

This is a list of art categories and photography, along with the number of images I have in my inventory for rotation on social media.

  • AI Art Dezgo (11K)
  • AI Art Dream (39K)
  • Digital Art Kaleidoscope Lime Pro (36K)
  • Photography (40K)

Total = 116K

Note: The above total does not include art and photos on my phone that have not been added into rotation yet. There are usually anywhere from 1K to 10K items in each category kept on my phone at any time before being included in my inventory. So the total number is always much higher, just not yet reflected for the actual amount.

Inventory Tracking:

The lists below include amounts and dates for when new items were added.

AI Art Dezgo (11K) – As of 2025-08-02-SAT-20:04-CST

UPDATES BELOW FROM SEPTEMBER 2025 NEED TO BE MOVED TO THE ARCHIVE PAGES

2025-09-18-THU-11:07-CST – CHECKING IN – I got home this morning and realized I left my Surface Pro 11 behind at the facility. Ooops. I hope no one steals it. I don’t think anyone will. I’ve left my Soundcore Party Rave speaker there several times with no issues. I didn’t get to work on anything this morning due to today I had a shopping run to stock up on some things. What actually happened was I intended to go buy a new toaster and some Eggo waffles. That was all I intended to get. Then the impulse buying kicked in, and before I knew it, I had a cart full of stuff. It isn’t a lose situation though. A lot of the things I bought were things I needed, and that I can definitely get some use out of.

2025-09-17-WED-22:59-CST – CHECKING IN – Earlier tonight I decided I am not dragging my laptop out. I’m taking a break. I’m just going to surf the web on my phone and make some new AI art.

2025-09-16-TUE-12:19-CST – CHECKING IN – I tried something different this morning. I turned the phone off. I’ve been thinking that doom scrolling is the biggest enemy to my productivity. So I just turned it off, and focused on getting some work done. Any work. It didn’t matter what type of work, as long as I was doing something productive for my website, or on a personal project. Honestly I didn’t get a whole lot of work done, but I feel like I got more done without the phone on, or at least felt more focused on my work than if I spent the morning scrolling Facebook. I think I’m going to try practicing turning the phone off more often.

Currently In Progress:

As of: 2025-12-18-THU-10:31-CST – I realize that I’ve been neglecting D98 for quite some time. It wasn’t intentional. I’ve just gotten very heavily involved in building surfman.co, my other website. That website will carry a new PDF version of my directory listings, some of which are listed here, and could also offer some free ebooks. My intentions are to combine this website with the new website in ways where more online content will be featured here, and over there, you can download a pdf for tablet use. So I haven’t forgotten about this website. I just have multiple projects going on, and I’m trying to focus on that one for awhile. I have decided over the last couple of months that I need to consolidate the number of websites I’m maintaining down to 2 or 3. I’m also in a position where I need to seriously declutter my home, and I don’t do well at decluttering lol. So I’ve got a lot of work going on, but no updates to show until I finish building that website and get the pdf directory online for distribution. I hope everyone has a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!

Note To Self: Put the negatives in your life aside and get this shit done! Some people do not deserve your attention based on how they act. Choose life and happy future over bullshit.

Disclaimers:

Some things to note about the content I post on this website. Also these disclaimers will eventually be moved to a more appropriate page at some point in the future.

Horoscopes Disclaimer:

I enjoy checking the horoscopes and posting my comments about them. I don’t really take the horoscopes too serious. Mostly I read them out of curiosity to see if anything corresponds to events happening in my life. I am also not “religious”, nor “atheist”. I value that I have the ability to listen to spiritual-based teachings without getting caught up in the “thou better do this shit or else because god said so” way of thinking. I also value that I can learn, and dare I say, at times be guided in life some way, or inspired by the horoscopes to frame my choices and thought patterns a certain way. In the end, it all comes down to karma for me, and I choose to be guided by me, and me alone… not someone else’s idea of who or what I’m supposed to be, or how I’m supposed to act, based on their beliefs.

Information Disclaimer:

All information provided on this website is provided as is. Every effort for accuracy is a top priority, however this depends on the sources where information is curated from. D98.co is not responsible for any unintended inaccuracies.

Product Links:

I share a lot of product links on this website, primarily from Amazon. It should be noted that I am not affiliated with Amazon, nor any other retail outlet, and I do not receive any compensation for sharing product links. I simply enjoy sharing product links for things I have either bought and enjoyed myself, or would consider buying, or simply sharing for the spirit of sharing products that someone else may find useful.

Lemmy:

I’ve been checking out Lemmy.ml frequently lately. It’s my understanding that it is a federated version of Reddit. I’ve seen some interesting and informative topics posted there that people are discussing. I am now listing them for resource value.

NOTE: This section of the site is starting to look like it could use it’s own dedicated page, or perhaps even it’s own directory on the blog. I haven’t decided which direction to go for this, but I am looking at moving this content to a more appropriate place at some point in the future since I keep coming back to it.

ANOTHER NOTE: There is another site similar to Lemmy called PieFed I’m gonna have to check out. I should actually I will have to check it out in more depth to see if it’s worth adding to my content curation workflow… and I think it would be. I’ve glanced over it and found this post about a website that generates a bookshelf image based off of your Goodreads account. It never hurts to have multiple sources to curate content from. Also I’m considering to set up a new Reddit account as well.
