A few weeks ago a guy at a meet up wanted me to 'show him AWS' and so I spun up a ec2 and connected to it to demonstrate...that that's what an ec2 is and I felt so clever and smart...but then I forgot and it was in a virtual private cloud? which then let me not delete the virtual private cloud?

Had claude code spin up a jetstream listener for #F1 Mexico GP this afternoon

- 3,019,028 messages captured from 13:05 -> 14:57 pst

- 3,721 had an 'f1'-related term (1 per 1K approx.), of those if a driver was mentioned saved & binned those per 1 minute & caught some discrete Things-That-Happened

(Full transparency: I just tried to recreate and I couldn't today but here's a wiki-bio of a famous dog, and that's thing that I do think is kinda cool about wikisurfer. Having made it just on a lark what made me actually put it out into the world is if you mess around on it you'll find...

Silly vibe-coded project you should check out today because I'm probably not gonna keep it up forever: wikisurfer! use arrow keys to surf wikipedia by vibes, under the hood I scrape all links and then ask gpt4.1-nano to pick the most {adjective} one.

Word Synth! Prompt a tiny LLM once, then as it generates over and over again tune the sampling parameters and see what happens :)

Very experimental, if it stalls out ctrl+q your browser and try again

DIY Synth. Esp32 Wrover b/c they make analog easier than raspberry pis. Keyboard from a goodwill toy, reverse-engineered the keypress stuff & its still buggy but works okay. Big mess of wires is 555 + 4017 + 9 Potentiometer 8 step sequencer. This stuff is very fun
