I have to say, I'm impressed with myself.

I really enjoyed live streaming for the first time last Friday.

Exploring modern serverless patterns using Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB to build scalable, cost-effective applications.

I'm gonna be doing a live-stream this Friday on Twitch.

Today I figured out how to embed the tracking code for Fathom Analytics into an Obsidian Publish website.

A deep dive into creating autonomous AI agents that can reason, plan, and execute complex tasks using Claude's API.

I'm building a thing.

Wow, that title is a mouthful.

A while back I created a repo on GitHub that was simply the output of doing sam init and choosing the AWS Quick Start Template for a Hello World Example.

While working on my chat-cli program, I realized that waiting for a response from Amazon Bedrock could take some time, depending on the nature of your prompt....

I worked this out a while back using TypeScript, but for some reason I decided I needed to redo this in Python.

Today I was studying for an upcoming AWS Certification and I had a chance to learn a handy method for calculating server capacity for high availability.

I recently decided to re-do my personal AWS accounts using AWS IAM Identity Center SSO and AWS Control Tower.

I’m starting a new mini-series on here.
