how I feel about writing 2026 on a check
Maybe the best B-side of all-time?
I didn't realize until now that Aretha Franklin's SISTER wrote "Ain't No Way" I mean this rendition obviously cements it as an all-time classic. But the pen game in this one was exquisite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB1F...
Last episode of the radio show today.
Decided to add a few more paragraphs on how it feels like we're going back to time-share systems and LLM companies remind me of Tesla
just saw a fumbled romcom, she drops her groceries riding one of those scooters, he helps her pick up groceries out the street.
there's an effort brewing here locally that needs a scope and a model, I think building out the scaffold separately so that munis or groups can adopt various frameworks could be good.
i've been stewing on the "roll your own digital service" concept for years, except my perspective has changed
The claw machine effect, token churning and answer roulette. all symptoms of the same problems in llm world
thinking in terms of interoperable civic nodes, small local groups stewarding pieces of civic infra that can operate across jurisdictions rather than one-off tools tied to a single municipality.
almost a year since @pdxdigitalcorps.bsky.social, we picked local nonprofits because of practicality and speed
In thinking of a reboot cohort, I'd like to imagine a more modular scope of civic tech infrastructure but without a battery pack of funding & executive sponsorship these initiatives wither
The Claude frontend skill outputs are already recognizable. Off-the-shelf aesthetics become cringe so fast. See Bootstrap, Material, etc etc.
There’s no way around learning what goes into good design. That means open eyes, lots of practice. Easier than ever but fundamentals same
A chesterfield cigarette ad with a gunsmoke actor . Let the miracle of AccuRay put a SMILE in your Smoking! It's as simple as ABC
We're going to look back on LLM marketing like this.
Fantastical usually acknowledges my "pacific time" indicators but I probably these times I didn't do it correctly apparently.
Second time this week I'm 3 hours early for something because I entered the time for a west coast thing while still on eastern time.
I can't believe I'd never really heard it until the other day, would be a top ten if they released it again right now
KCRW is playing that one track from the Ray Charlies/Count Basie Orchestra album from the 60s that they didn't release until 2006. Forgot how good this song is

Good convo in this thread
Incremental tech can ride the language of the stuff it replaces
Novel tech, though, must balance "being familiar enough to feel inviting" with UX that actively highlights differentiating capabilities
... particularly in domains like Trust & Safety 😬
proposing a collective noun: three or more engineers is a "threat" of engineers
a conclave
It occurred to me, while I was starting laundry, that part of believing that AI is a labor problem has to do with thinking about differences between "the meetings are the work" roles and "the meetings interfere with the work" roles.
👀👀👀 reading that syllabus i feel like i've seen you post about it before but didn't remember thanks for the reminder
O, this reminds me of the focus on "delight" in software circa 2013.
Worth a read. I spent more time in Wyoming in my 20s than anywhere because of college post-Air Force. A strange place but it feels different now than it did a generation ago & the 24/7 cable news cycle surely owes this place a debt for all its wrought.
thats a good comparison and agree
Not convinced you could foist IKEA onto people starting now and it'd work as well. People have learned it, or maybe I'm just not as seasoned a shopper.
tauer has some hitters too!
sometimes i just buy samples direct from the house too. my local store will make me decants I only go online for stuff they don't sell
scentsplit has been good to me
ah! i see your vision! dope you've attempted this, it's been on my list and I'm glad you did it so i don't have to 😂😂
