Inventor, dreaming

This week I joined a session at school on the topic of career planning. I had an hour of time to work through a series of questions designed to help me make progress on a goal. The goal I chose for the session was to think about my career goals. What do I want to do in my car...

I'd like an AI bot that could do this. I open my browser to a page on netflix.com. It scans the page, figures out what movies are there, then it searches metacritic for each and presents me a list of all shows with a rating above a certain score. I know the streamers don't want us to have this info (I don't really understand why) but I really want it. BTW, they say the Green Knight is fantastic. Got the tip from a NYT email, but even they didn't say what the rating was, or even what their own reviewer said. Had to do this thing manually. Do they have any user-oriented creative people in the mix anywhere in this system??

Bluesky's future for devs

There's a conference in Vancouver this weekend for people who are developing apps for Bluesky. They have a protocol they are proud of called AT Proto. A sexy name, but imho it doesn't do anything that Twitter's API did 20 years ago. So why do people hope it'll make a differe...

Warm tea

I like to put my hands over the top of a cup of warm tea. I enjoy the warmth, and want to hold onto it for as long as possible. Whether I am holding a textbook or exploring blogs, if I have a cup of tea by my side I want to feel its warmth. As I write, I am sitting next to a warm cup of tea, resting on the arm of my chair. The vibration of movement as I type creates a gentle ripple on the water, a ripple that reminds me of the calm river where I spent time last weekend. It is amazing what there is to see in the ordinary.

Hello from Spain! Just arrived and found a nice little coffee shop in Cádiz. How did I get here…? I recorded a new episode of Timetable to share the first part of my trip. 🇪🇸

A narrow, cobblestone alley is bordered by colorful, traditional European buildings with balconies on either side, leading into the distance under a clear blue sky.

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. As a potential proxy for this, I took a look at the most popularly collected typewriter models according to the Typewriter Database and compiled a list … Continue reading Most Collected Typewriters on the Typewriter Database

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
