“What makes great teams great isn’t that they’re better at getting things right the first time.

When I was younger, spending hours teaking my Vim configuration was fun.

It feels like open source has fallen off a cliff this year.

Over the past four years, I’ve been slowly separating my work from my Bullet Journal.

The past few weeks I’ve been messing around with building personal AI skills to use with Antigravity CLI.

I’ve been an avid user of the Bullet Journal Metho for nine years now.

A quick thought about AI.

For the past year, I’ve been (poorly) trying to update both this blog and a separate digital garden.

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about AI platform decay.

This probably of interest only to myself, but I have noticed my media consumption habits have changed over the last year.

Steve Yegge is a brilliant madman.

This is quick thought to start out the new year.

This year felt like it went by in a rush.

So far, adapting to the Helix keyboard has proven more difficult than expected.

I’m slowly getting used to using Helix as my primary editor.

The older I get the less I’m interested in fiddling around with building custom configurations for things like my editor.

Despite my best efforts, I haven’t been able to get Emanote installed in a Devbox environment.

I’ve been running Emanote for some time now, but I’ve been disappointed that the latest release was over two years ago.

This year so far has not gone as planned.

Note taking is harder than it looks.

I’ve started building a new tool in Python that will grab my highlights and notes from Readwise and turn them into zk note files.

I purchased two additional LilyGo LoRa devices, giving me a total of three.

I’ve had a slow start to 2025, and January ended up being a lot busier than expected.

Another year has come and gone.

I haven’t had much to write about this past month or so, but I wanted to document an Apple MacOS command that I recently learned about in case I need it again.

I’m a little late with this, but I was able to attend OLF 2024 this year in Columbus, Ohio.

This week Omnivore announced that they are shutting down their read it later service at the end of November.

The internet has become a noisy, overly complicated mess full of sites pushing cryptocurrency scams, optimizing for AI generated drivel and ad delivery, and intrusive tracking and profiling.

I have finally found a note taking tool that I feel like is working with me and not creating more friction.

Welcome to my new blog.
