Labeling the mind
I think we're at the "no more new features" point of the first release of WordLand. Learned my lesson on the 0.5.7 release, there comes a point in developing product that it may not be perfect for everyone or for every possible user, and while it has bugs (all software does), it is useful for what it was designed to do. There's nothing else like it out there, and it forms a foundation to build on. So I don't expect to do any further adventures in features for WordLand for a while, instead I'm going to assume it's there and build connections to other software, my own and that of my friends, in this context products that use open formats for interop.
First full day back at work after a couple weeks on the road. I work a little every day, even when traveling, but a day hopefully without any distractions is always nice. Starting with coffee at Cosmic. Server deploys for in-progress changes. ☕️
Warriors putting the Rockets away. Can’t help but admire what Steph Curry is still able to do. He wasn’t even really needed in the first half. 🏀

New Bot Day! Mr. Peanut appears in the 2025 film The Electric State, originally a visual novel from 2018, while the company mascot first appeared in 1916. In the film, Mr. Peanut has been exiled to The Exclusion Zone in an alternate, apocalyptic 1994. He leads other exiled robots who are sentient and fighting for their rights and dignity. He’s a wise leader. Welcome to my collection, Mr. Peanut. We all want dignity and justice here.

Back in Düsseldorf for Beyond Tellerrand once again! I made an impromptu stop at IndieWebCamp to assist with setting up the stream and finally have time to tackle accessibility improvements on my website.
Making slow progress experimenting with local LLMs in the Mac app. Smaller models are a challenge because they are so much worse and unpredictable than what I’m used to with frontier cloud models. I’ve tested a few flavors of Gemma 3, think I’m settling on 4 billion params, Q5.
Watched Runaway Jury. Really good. Sadly nothing has changed with gun control in the 20 years since this was filmed… It’s actually worse now since the assault weapons ban expired.

A moment with concrete
Sometimes you end up walking in odd places and you get to take photos from weird angles. Never thought I was going to take a picture of the highway from below while walking in between the lanes and yet here we are.

If you get the nightly email, the text might be a bit more readable. I've increased the font-size from 17px to 18px. I've only been able to do this lately because I could tap into what ChatGPT knew about it, whereas before I was flying blind, with no idea of the unusual things that happen when HTML is sent via email. There is another option, click on the date at the top of each email and that will open the same stuff in the web. It can be easier to make the text larger there than it is in an email client.

Saw some fish in the water including the first stingray of the year. Sandcrabs coming out. By-the-wind sailors beached. Sandcrabs are showing in force. I think it’s springtime in the water.
