Yesterday I blogged about how I'd picked up my old event modeling project again, and decided to test drive it with a new project. One of my kids had recently started taking drawing commissions online. I'd been helping with the payment side, so they would take an order, check with me if they got paid,… Continue reading When it all ticked into place
One of the recurring questions I get is how can you make sure that what the agent built is correct? We were having an AI sharing session at work and one of my colleagues showed his Event Modeling tool to help him get an overview of the module that he was building. He used his… Continue reading How do you tick the box for the black box?
I've had my Freewrite for years. For most of them it sat on a shelf, and I blame Postbox. I'm still angry that they never tracked my streaks correctly. When I first got the device, I was very motivated to write because of the Postbox platform that gave me an overview of my progress and… Continue reading Fine, I’ll do it myself
Because it's almost Christmas, my daughter and I chatted about how we wanted to do Secret Santa this year. Already in my mind, I obviously wanted to build an app for it. We were sitting in a cafe while waiting for the older daughter, who was at archery practice, and I wanted to try recording… Continue reading Because Christmas begins when the months start saying “BRR”
Interviewed my daughter while we were at a cafe this morning about how she wanted a secret santa app to work. I wanted to test an addition to my workflow, exploring voice recorded ideation. I asked claude to build me a script to import, then transcribe voice notes using local models and create summaries for… Continue reading Old meets AI
Work has been full speed ahead, and with the kids back at school and their extracurricular activities, it's been hard to find a new rhythm. This weekend was the first time in a while that I've had the mental energy to be creative again. I've been thinking a lot about how social media companies are… Continue reading Building a Barrio
I can no longer count the number of apps that I have built. I should probably re-look and retire some of them. Because it doesn't monetarily cost much to keep them around, I'm not really that bothered. Where it does take some toll is on attention and creative energy. Once in a while I read… Continue reading Three Apps and a Summer
It was a transition, but I wouldn't say it was that difficult. It helped that coming back meant working from home. Three more weeks and then it's back to regular programming. Just in time for the kids to be back in school. I do wish it were longer. I feel I have a bit more… Continue reading Ah, the first work week finally over.
Why is a house shaped the way it is? Have you ever thought about it? In the middle you have the peak, and that's where you are. The peak is where all the things about you live; it's where you shine. It's where your passions live, the things you enjoy the most. Work on those,… Continue reading Your house
Initially I just added an auto-import to my PC because I didn't want to rely on Freewrite's cloud platform. Maybe there are things I'd rather keep private. I wanted the flexibility of a fully offline sync and storage of all my writing. I do keep a public blog though, so I added tags. If a… Continue reading I’ve been trying to optimize my writing workflow for a while now.
