I can’t swim, I can’t dance, and I don’t know karate.
I need to carve out some time to get back to #astrophotography . Luckily I left myself little tutorials 😂

So now that I have Omarchy on my 2019 MBP, I have not only started replicating the Hyperland config onto my NixOS machines, but now I am doing the same on MacOS 26 so I can have some consistency across my machines 😂.

I bought a Microsoft Surface because I thought they looked neat... I am not sure how I feel about it yet, but I bought it knowing I can't just quickly load NixOS on it like the rest of my machine 😂.. I am forcing myself to have at least 1 Windows computer.

Yes, Annihilation will stream on Paramount starting August 1. No, the movie wasn't much hated. No, it didn't flop in the usual way. The new Paramount leadership suffocated it by releasing on too few screens. Per screen take was robust. share.google/4PHbY6q65jJk...

While doing some infrastructure work this week with Claude I wondered into some yak shaving … dropped two more MCP servers that really helped me out for coroot and deadman snitch 😂

I always just called this the butthole nebula 😂
Ah bummer! I thought they took this photo 😂. Here’s my last photo of this nebula from 2023. This was a 10” RC telescope with a mono camera.

I decided to revive an old 2013 iMac 27”, bumped it to 32gb of ram and a 2TB NVME, running current macOS… at the end of the day idk why I even wanted to do this 😂, but it’s super useable now and easily 4x faster.

This is a must have tool for #claude code users: github.com/badlogic/lem...

It creates a super clean HTML trace of your sessions so you can see all the tools calls in detail.

Started using Claude's gmail integration + the playwright MCP to unsubscribe to all the spammy messages I don't care about.. My quality of life just improved slightly 😀

Was going through some old photos, I kinda miss doing #astrophotography

Well this is a first for me.. claude code working along and somehow violated it's own Usage Policy 😂.. I am really curious what triggered this

Lol this is a fun one. Using Claude to decompile a random SWF file (in this case I think an old pool game?) and have it totally port the game to JavaScript.

Is it just me, or did #Anthropic and #Claude just get a massive dosage of adderall over the last few hours? The Claude Desktop app now has some wicked cool integrations, and my claude-code / API is flying

I just reached a new level of laziness by trying out #Speechify
There is just something about listening to Snoop Dog read everything for me that hits just right 😂

I wish i could find more time to keep making weird #AI videos. It’s always fun and mind numbing 😂
March 30, 2025 at 9:56 AM
I love how #AI is just as ADHD and forgetful as me.. after just updating a rule in our #CLAUDE markdown file that specifically says what to do anytime this file is edited...
