A stack of lego bricks is just as good as a GPU prop as the fancy thing you can buy on Amazon for 10 bucks.

Whenever listening to someone in the tech world talk about the inevitable dominance of some tech or product, it's helpful to remember that 5 years ago every single one of them said that we were on the verge of everyone wearing VR headsets for work and play.

Problem statement: searching my AI chat history is as essential today as seeing my search history

Current solution: #Readwise highlighter for web, syncing to #Obsidian via plugin

New Problem: tagging and organizing for optimal human and AI retrieval

With #Gemini2.5 packaged in with my Google Workspace subscription, continuing to pay for #Claude on anything but an API basis really isn’t mathing.

You know what would be really smart? If it knew that my console was on HDMI-1 and set itself to the "Game" preset automatically. They instead went with making the preset change nested within 3 menus. #UXFail
Now that I have a new Smart TV I no longer think that TV shows are too dark, I just think that no-one knows how the goddamn fuck all those brightness settings on their new smart TVs work.

I like to tell myself that feeding my digital curiosity is in fact productive, but when the task of cleaning up my office leads me to a deep study of self-hosted paperless document hosting (shout out to #paperless-ngx) while the office is still a mess
