Childish Gambino called on this one.

This is America.

Life is like a song and a puzzle. And in both cases I want to play it well.

Dear people who make software.

I want you to know that I read your changelogs. I always have. I love knowing what’s knew and fixed.

And almost never bad news in a Release Notes. It’s safe news right now.

Thanks.

See here's how to do a headline.

Quick life hack I’ve found and now use all the time.

If a tool has a sidebar that you can hide and show (think Obsidian, Cursor, VScode, Notion, etc... app sidebars)

I’ve been setting the shortcuts to
Left sidebar: CTRL+OPTION+B
Right sidebar: OPTION+CMD+B

“What time is my next meeting?” I ask myself.

Then I pick up my phone to glance at my calendar.

Five minutes later when something on instagram is lame enough I remember to turn off my phone.

I then set it down to immediately remember I haven’t checked my calendar.

I feel like I've always been a somewhat willing-to-try-anything kind of geek, but I was never a coder.

And so now, I'm so appreciative of having AI guide me through things that were doable, but hard and a little stressful previously.

I've been sick the past couple days, spent today sort of heads down exploring some random shit as I began to feel better.

Looked at the news.

Shouldn't have done that.

1. OpenAI's Deep Research is really good.

2. It gives amazing citations.

3. When I copied the output, the markdown was getting weird.

4. So I used Windsurf to write a python script to fix it

5. The result is the domain is each link's anchor text, like god intended.

If we reach ASI - advanced super intelligence, I have a hard time believing it will do what many of us are hoping (or are afraid) it'll do.

How can it be smarter than us and still fall victim to our lies and justifications of the broken systems?

@alexcwilliams.bsky.social Well - congrats. It's comforting that ND is the one team in which I have less to root for than almost any other. But I still feel sad about losing to Ohio St. twice in playoffs/championships. I don't like them. They can bugger off. I don't like them at all. :)

My son immediately after waking up this morning… “Dad! I had the best dream.”

I’m fully intrigued. “Oh yeah? What about?”

He then goes on to describe in detail the tacos he was eating in his dream.

So proud of him.

Just in case you hadn't heard, Bluesky has free algorithmic choice. You are in control of what you see here.
Don't trust the algorithm, choose your algorithm.
Or write your own.

You know what would be "tough on crime"?
living wage
fully funded schools
guaranteed access to healthy food
affordable housing
universal health and child care
care instead of incarceration for people with substance use disorder and mental illness

Every year my family goes to the Mexican carnival in February when it comes through town. It's back in town this week in Sayulita, so it stirs up memories.

Memories of a few years ago when things got a little sideways and the dangers got real.

I wrote about it here.

all jokes aside, we shouldn't forget the real Reason for the Season

One of the greatest uses of AI so far is having it troubleshoot error messages for random unexpected issues. Just tried to log kid2 into an xbox to play fortnite and kept getting generic error messages. However, Bard knew why, and helped me find the solution. I never would have found that otherwise.

It's weird that after my first twitter post in 2006, and my first insta ~whenever that was~ i never imagined having to write another first post to a social network... but here we are. Glad to be here. Thanks for having me. The system is rigged and we should all be way nicer to each other. Smooches.
