I dig old computers and used bookstores.

The Bay Model is smelly but legit. I’m always impressed by the Army Corps of Engineers. Feels like the real Dharma Initiative from Lost.

Trying out Croissant app to cross post and enjoying it. Would love to get Farcaster and Twitter on there too. My fav part is the little loading bars showing the message fan out to the various services.
Looking for dalle prompt tips for generating realistic photos for products found in grocery or hardware store websites (eg avocados, cans of paint, boxes of garbage bags, etc). I know with midjourney I can see what other people are trying out in discord but looking for dalle tips!

Can we change the system / default prompt for the NotebookLM to tell them they are experts in an area? Loving it but they are coming across as enthusiastic newbs in whatever I throw their way.

Excited to reread this masterpiece soon
In light of Meta AR glasses, here’s my short story about AR contact lenses and Golden Compass style daemons

I’m halfway through this one and loving it. Feels like Snowcrash but less silly.
Would love if my podcast player showed me a list of top episodes by download for a given show. I’ve been using Overcast for years. Would be useful way to dive into back catalog for new shows.
Okay so we’re listening to Christmas music and making pumpkin pie and setting up a skeleton. Happy fall!
Billy Summers is a great book. I think it’s also a great intro to Stephen King curious. Not horror!
Ramp’s marketing site is very good. Great branding of features into Named Things, too
Do we think Google will ever update the Nest thermostats. I wanna go smart thermostat but these are incredibly old.
I wanted to learn Da Vinci Resolve but didn't have time, so just made a lil' 4 minute film for our town's upcoming film festival in iMovie along with an original track in Logic. Learning to make stuff with these sorts of apps really makes a personal computer shine.
Sicario was damn good. You all were right.
Camping - it’s the best
My fav one-time podcast has a new episode out about the Mac Performas in the 90s! https://overcast.fm/+AAgB8ha42gE
Been in a reading rut and all it takes is one Stephen King to bring me back. Loving BILLY SUMMERS right now.
Double Dipsea in the books today. Really excited to have finally been one of those runners who get right of way across the road in Stinson.

I’m really hoping the next iOS AI crap let’s me better manage app notifications (hey siri turn off all sound app notifications for all apps forever please)
