Just ordered a dedicated Mac Mini so I can setup an OpenClaw instance. Can’t wait to experiment with this!

We had a great time at Activate today playing all the various rooms. The new puzzle mode in the Mega Grid was pretty cool.

My POAP2RSS project needed some form of an icon and the design was super bland so I had ChatGPT help me with an image and Claude Code revamped the design. Now it has some style. And I’m using beta feature from Tinylytics so RSS feed calls are now included in site analytics! 🎉

Today is the day you can go to the grocery store early and watch bewildered men stare at the Valentine’s card selection. You got this guys! 😂

Tyler wanted to do an escape room on his birthday so we went to Lock & Key Escape and completed the Quest for Excalibur! It was a fun room, not too challenging, with some delightful surprises along the way! Room 87!

I hit 10k in Clash Royale! Go POAP KINGS!

Mason Jennings show at The Dakota tonight. Lovely. 🎶

Our SPS Ignite 2026 Give Back event tonight included building a mini-golf course with pool noodles and cardboard and then each team playing the course. I found it much more difficult than it seemed. We then packed over 4,000 bags of goods for Special Olympics athletes and family members!

Excited to kick off SPS Ignite 2026! Today is going to be amazing.

We had a fabulous keynote from JP Pawliw on the Last Eight Percent today.
