Compared the transcript from Apple Podcasts with the transcript we generate in Micro.blog using GPT. They’re both good, but ours is nearly flawless, while Apple Podcasts has a few minor mistakes.

It’s great that apps have transcripts. I still want to control this and have my own (editable) copy.

RSS 2.0 as a network

Yesterday I hatched an idea of a demo program that turns RSS 2.0 feeds with rssCloud into a WhatsApp-type communicator. I called it rss.network, and asked ChatGPT to draw a prototype. How I did it. I pasted a screen shot into ChatGPT and wrote: "i want you to draw me some...

Most Collected Typewriters on the Typewriter Database

Two rows of four typewriters each lined up on opposite sides of a table.

In reflecting on my own typewriter collection, I thought I’d look through it to see how some of the models I gravitate toward compare to those others are collecting.

From 1957, the year the Dodgers announced their move to Los Angeles, I’ve got my Dodger Blue Royal FPP typewriter ready to go to score the home opener! Blue ink at the ready, I can already hear a military bomber circling my neighborhood on the way to a flyover of the stadium. ⚾🏟️

Brainstorming web guides

I am interested in the field of content design, which thinks of information as not only what it represents (i.e. facts) but how that information is represented. The UK Government says: Good content design allows people to find out what they need to know or do quickly. When I ...

Single-file web applications

A few weeks ago I made Amie, an application for keeping track of who you meet at conferences. Amie lets you create an event, then add people by name and/or domain, Mastodon, or BlueSky handle. 1 I was inspired to build Amie because I went to a web meetup a few months ago whe...

Lovely Day

Protecting my lips from the sun before the session. The sun slowly lower in the sky, mid session. After the sunset from my car. I’ve been listening to my 2022 mixtape ~ playlist. It’s good. Madonna’s Ray of Light is so beautiful. Impeach the President is on it. And that’s an old song. It’s got...
