New vocabulary word: “RAM harvester”. RAM chips are so expensive right now that RAM harvesters are stealing them out of demo computers at electronics stores.

This colossal pizza oven is both pricey and impractical. It also makes the best pizza I’ve ever cooked at home.

Here’s a nice screenshot of the new Jottit sidebar. It works really well for navigating unlisted pages.

Spent the day redesigning Jottit. Shipped dark mode, new site header and owner sidebar with pinned/recent pages.

Sidebar went through 20 iterations and landed on a right-side layout: content left, navigation right.

Full circle: mirrors what Aaron and I built 19 years ago. Some patterns just work :)

Missed this last week: Lane 8 dropped their Spring 2026 Mixtape. Available on YouTube and Soundcloud.

Listeners call in on the question, "where do you find meaning, ritual, and the sense that you are part of something larger than yourself outside of a religious context?"

A week ago I added an MCP server to Jottit as an experiment so I could post from Claude, not just the web UI.

It turns out Jottit works really well for capturing and refining ideas from AI conversations. Instead of disappearing into chat history, they can become pages and evolve over time.

“I am vetoing this bill in its entirety because I object to this bill's intrusion into the personal privacy of Wisconsin residents,” Governor Tony Evers wrote.

Ron DeSantis has empowered hundreds of Florida conservation police to work directly with ICE.

Max Cooper’s music videos are always worth a look. This one, directed by Katia Schutz, is for a song called Pattern Index from his forthcoming album (Feeling Is Structure, May 8).

Cooper describes Feeling Is Structure as an “audiovisual album”, which I take to mean that each song will have an associated video released with it. A second video, Ebb and Flow, is already out too:

There was a moment early in the third quarter of Sunday’s national championship game when you could see exactly how UCLA was going to win and why. The South Carolina Gamecocks, desperate for offense, had taken to gambling now: sending bold passes through traffic, pawing for ...

Though journalism remains an unlicensed profession, and standards do vary across news outlets, some rules are very broadly accepted. The most common reference point is the code of ethics of the Society for Professional Journalists (SPJ), which compiles guidelines that aim to keep practitioners honest, minimize unintended harm, and build trust. For example, journalists are […]

Lessons from fighting cancer that apply to resisting authoritarianism. 1. We need each other. 2. We must move, even when on uncertain ground. 3. Past trauma will bring us down if we do not release its effects on us. And more…

Artemis II remains on course for its lunar flyby as the crew shares historic photos of Earth, tests key systems for future lunar missions, and attempts to fix the toilet.

“The promise of the open web was colonized by internet giants. But the power of LLMs and agentic coding means we can start to take it back. We can build customized, personal software for ourselves that does what we want.”

My God. What has happened to the Republican Party? The Party of Lincoln, for goodness’ sake! Nothing about them resembles the Party of Lincoln. Like, for instance, they have a signature hat, but it’s not a stovepipe one. They don’t wear blankets over their shoulders and laps...

Louisiana, Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, and Maryland: only five US states have ever had a Black governor.

I recommend this post on vibe coding.

There's a lot more to development than coding.

I've tried vibe coding myself, and while it's sometimes relaxing and fun, it's pretty hard to get the output to match what you had in mind.

I think people find it amazing that they can create code, not just that the machine can create it. I know what that's like because I get a rush from creating images, something I never had a skill for, so all of a sudden being able to express myself with drawings was a breakthrough for me. ;-)

I've spent a few decades making commercial quality software in a variety of contexts, and so far I wouldn't rush to get rid of my dev teams based on the idea that the bots can do their work.

I think more realistically we have powerful new tools that we as yet have not learned how to use, but it's pretty exciting to see what may be possible.
