  • Oh Apple Intelligence you never disappoint.

  • New fav AI tool: Google NotebookLM. I can upload research papers and get an instant expert to chat with. Yes it’s #RAG but with extra goodies. Generate mindmaps, exec overviews, video explainers and podcasts. Have Google Workspaces account? You may already have access.

  • I can’t believe it’s taking me this long to cook a frittata.

  • Really digging Highs in the 70s tonight on #WXPN. I’m expecting Johnny Fever to break in at any moment.

  • This is pretty fascinating. Before radar there was a network of concrete arrows in the ground that helped guide pilots flying across the country.

  • Went to see Fantastic Four last night night with the family. Later my wife was like “So the bad guy’s motivation was … he was hungry?”

  • I love when I’m sitting on my ass drinking a cocktail and my Apple Watch congratulates me for hitting my move goal.

  • Sacrilege!

  • It’s 2025 and there’s still no tap to pay at Walmart! Also, I just realized this is the first time I’ve stepped in to a Walmart this year.

  • Had a great time at the #Philly #AI Collective meetup last night. This was the first meeting of the Philadelphia chapter. I look forward to see where the organizers take this.

  • I didn’t realize how much I rely on the macOS version of @agiletortoise@mastodon.social Drafts until Apple broke it in the latest macOS Tahoe Beta.

  • It’s 2025 and what piece of technology still continues to give me headaches? Printers.

  • WiFi Mesh Upgrade

    I just upgraded the mesh network in my house from an Orbi RB50 to the Asus ZenWiFi AXE7800.

    So far it feels like quite an upgrade. I have an old house built in 1940 that has plaster walls. I’ve a solid wifi connection from my office which was never possible with the Orbi.

    networksetup -listallhardwareports

    and

    networkQuality -s -I en15

    are handy macOS terminal commands for speed testing specific network ports.

  • I just discovered the #python Rich project. If you need to build sweet looking CLI applications in python check it out.

  • Currently (re)reading: Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency Box Set by Douglas Adams 📚

  • Nothing eats up HD space faster than playing around with local LLMs (well maybe 4k video)

  • Wasn’t expecting iOS Beta 6 so soon.

  • Finally doing something I should have done along time ago. Added UI tests to ClipDish. Writing these tests is tedious but made easier with AI tools.

  • There is something deeply satisfying about whacking away at compiler warnings.

  • I’m hearing good things about Alien Earth.

  • South Park does it again.
