I'm Brian Paris. Built things with video and audio for about 25 years. Produced, directed, shot, edited. Currently running a government access TV channel in Champaign, Illinois.
For the last couple of years, I've been using AI to actually make things. Short films. Websites. Apps. Chatbots. A full tarot card deck. (Apple rejected the app. That's a whole post.)
Some of it works. Some of it doesn't. I write about it all in my newsletter, AI, Actually!
Sounds & Colors is where the builds live.

Apps, websites, chatbots, word search books. Some are public. Some just run on my computer. All of them were worth building.
