Still kind of unbelievable that The Late Show only has one week left. When the cancellation was announced, the end date seemed far away, and I thought maybe they’d change their mind anyway.

Good recap of the OpenAI trial from TechCrunch. This part is really the whole case:

OpenAI’s attorneys have asked every witness to describe specific restrictions put on Musk’s donations, and none have, including his financial adviser Jared Birchall, his chief of staff Sam Teller, or his special adviser Shivon Zilis. They say everyone involved agreed that private fundraising would be required to achieve its goals, and note that Musk himself attempted to launch an OpenAI-affiliated for-profit he would personally control, and later to merge OpenAI into his company Tesla.

I have Claude Code hooked up to Chrome. It's crawling around inside the DOM of the running system, like humans do in a debugger. It's a bit like Fantastic Voyage if you've ever seen it. I've been waiting for this moment. Now we can do some really nice UI work.

I live in a very quiet place. There are 30 or so people here, only one road that sees very little traffic, and woods all around us. I wake up with birds chirping, and most of the day, that’s all I can hear around me. At the same time, public transport is pretty much non-exis...

Listening to the closing arguments in Elon Musk vs. OpenAI. Elon left the country to be with Trump and Tim Cook in China. Pretty sure Elon knows the case is all but lost. Maybe the goal was never to win, just to make the defendants look bad and waste everyone’s time.

Slowly making improvements to our book database in Micro.blog. There’s a new layout for the book pages too, with the page count and better descriptions when we can get them.

Every social web needs avatars. In an RSS 2.0 feed look for the channel-level image element. It's how they do it in WordPress.

This is the first day since the NBA playoffs started that there is no scheduled game. I think that's why today feels so weird.

For some reason every day feels like Saturday. I don't know why.

One year of consisten posts is nothing to sneeze at. But when each one is genuinely useful, actionable, and insightful, that's another level of achievement.

Along the Walnut Creek Trail.

For the last few weeks I have been making a cup of decaf tea in the late evening, almost as part of a wind-down ritual for the day. While I was making a cup this evening, I heard birds singing. I felt the warmth from the tea in my hands and the warmth of the bird song in my...

At this evening’s Homebrew Website Club, I asked: What was the biggest change in our websites since we started them? This question was inspired in part by Paul saying something to the effect of how we build our websites and, in the process, figure out what we want our website...

The new trailer for Laika’s Wildwood looks so good. Visuals alone, I think Laika might have something truly special here. Audiences are going to increasingly want handcrafted work. See also the quote from Travis Knight earlier this year.

Last year, we launched a new plan for Micro.blog called Micro.one. It was only $1/month and included nearly everything from a standard Micro.blog subscription. It was a bit of an experiment. Micro.one actually had a cap of 3000 registrations. I was worried that we would lose...

A little crazy that we have 12 separate downloadable apps for Micro.blog across Mac, iOS, and Android. I’ve finally made a special download page for all of them: micro.blog/download
