Meta's discovery engine
Mark Zuckerberg said something in the Stratechery interview last week that paints a clearer picture of what the future of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads is going to look like. Meta is leaning into the TikTok-ification of all their social platforms. I think it’s going to be...

Working on a few different random things today. Also really looking forward to Nuggets / Clippers game 7! 🏀
The Detroit Psssstons were truly great in the first round of the playoffs. And I was really gratified, ecstatic even, to see the Timberwolves give the Lakers a complete shellacking. I am so fed up with LeBron James. I can't imagine another team would want him. I can't imagine...
Sometimes I think the Trumps are competing to be the one to kill the most humans.
And today I spent (or wasted) hours trying to get my WebSockets code working properly with Caddy. Hours with ChatGPT, realizing it has a long way to go before it can manage code like I can. It gets fixated on an approach and never takes a step back to think maybe I'm going a...

A thought on AI and creativity
Probably too many people are sharing too many opinions on this subject so I’m not going to waste too much time adding my voice to this conversation.
That said, one thing I’m finding interesting is that I see people falling into two main camps for the most part. On one side a...
Finished reading: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson. This is the first of his books that I’ve re-read, listening to the audiobook this time. Still great. 📚
Hello again, Austin. It was about 3500 miles round-trip, driving to New York and back. Good couple weeks but glad I won’t have to be on the road tomorrow.
CSF_02: Entropy Is Your Friend In Security
Spent the day in NYC, had an idea and it was a gorgeous day, and I decided to be impulsive. See you back here tomorrow, Murphy-willing.
CSF_02: Entropy Is Your Friend In Security
Deliberate use of entropy, randomness, even changing routines
can provide a layer of defense for cybersecurity.
More Steps for Cybersecurity
Here are three more steps

Berkshire Hathaway Meeting
I’ve checked off a bucket list item: I’m attending a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting. It’s really an event! Thousands flock to Omaha, Nebraska, for the legendary Q&A sessions with Warren Buffett and shareholder deals. They’ve made it quite the circus, with every Berkshire Hathaway company having a booth of some sort, and typically selling their … Continue reading Berkshire Hathaway Meeting →

Reboot, Renewal
So tired of gatekeepers. Only realized this week that the Micro.blog web browser extension was removed from the Chrome store. Re-submitted some verification documents to Google, hopefully can get it back within a few days.
Once apps like Spotify, Kindle, and many others are officially approved with external payment links, I don’t see Apple putting the genie back in the bottle. The company needs to let this go. Developers have had to put up with Apple’s tax and convoluted rules for too long already.
