Here's a bit of a crazy one on quantum entanglement which was really just me being led down a rabbit hole between YouTube, an LLM and an analogy experiment gone awry www.linkedin.com/pulse/quantu...
Quantum Entanglement and Database Engines
On a lark I started asking an LLM about quantum entanglement. And when it spit out "an answer" it was a little tough to follow (of course).

Great video about our plugin which syncs #voicenotes to @obsidian.md
I love how convenient #Voicenotes is to take quick notes, but I also love my organization system on #Obsidian. 🤔 What if I could automatically send my Voicenotes transcriptions to @obsidian.md?

I don't know why but I bought the audible book "The 5AM Club" by Robin Sharma, and after the first 4 minutes of the book. Stopped, and returned it immediately. The book is a story of, get up at 5am because everyone else is asleep. Done. And no spiritual laced drivel laden text to read. Bonus.

Getting heavily involved in home automation, focusing on HomeKit and using Homebridge -- any devices that support or will support Matter that I should look into? Having fun with homebridge and dummy switches and it's insane fun

Oh man, I love the movie Contact so much, a fun watch every time. That it has James Woods in it is the only downside but he's evil in Contact so it's just him not acting I guess!

Probably wasn’t good to watch Flight prior to taking a short haul flight today but plane seemed mechanically sound and Denzel Washington wasn’t in the captains chair so we should make it without maneuvers
