I Really Hate My Dumb Job
Everyone tells me what a great voice I have and that I should be on the radio. The funny thing is, I auditioned for a radio gig and was accepted, but it wasn't all it seemed to be.
Text-Only & Minimalist News Sites

I Let Claude Code Create a Blogging Platform for Me. You Won't Believe What Happened!
Yes, it's a clickbait title, but seriously. The results turned out to be pretty incredible if you ask me.

This will be a nice feature for Mac users to help extend battery life.
🎉 Woohoo! We have officially planned and booked all of our spring & summer RV trips.

A tremendously productive day today. Overgrown weeds in the backyard cleaned up, TV in the RV rewired, toolbox cleaned up (a little) and, thanks to Claude Code, great progress made on a new Mac app I’ve always wanted to write. It was a good day.
As a Claude Code test this morning, I spun up an empty Xcode project, gave a short prompt about the history of my old Mac maintenance app, Yasu, and then provided it a screenshot, telling it to write me the SwiftUI code for it.
Holy moly, the results were pretty darned good…
