My brother Isaiah is playing around with radio stuff and making his own devices to communicate over long distances. Check out LoRa Chat that he is working on and Vibe Coding. ๐Ÿ“ก

Tammy and I went on a 2.92 mile walk in 53.8 minutes (18.42 min/mile) walking the road from Paoli to Verona. ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Guess I’m done trying to get this deploy working for now. ๐Ÿ’€

Working with Claude Code to get the deployment working for what I created yesterday. In many ways the deployment to AWS is much harder than creating the thing!

Coldplay was amazing at Camp Randall Stadium tonight! The heat and seating left a lot to be desired. ๐Ÿฅต

My cousin @quinntchrest is speed-running the @POAPChallenge today! ๐Ÿคฉ

Giant flower.

Tammy’s has declared Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream the best โ€” specifically This $&@! Just Got Seriousยฎ! We visited the Monroe Street location in Madison to have some direct from the source.

Gold Rush at Escape in Time

We solved the Gold Rush room at Escape in Time in Madison today. The room is rated hard and we definitely hit a couple of spots where we needed a clue and felt pretty stumped. But even with that, we solved the room with 13m 15s remaining on the clock. We thought the location was great and loved that the entrance is a Candy Shop puzzle room that you need to get through to check in for your game! Room 73!

We had a fun afternoon with Madison Adventure Tours exploring a 9-mile loop around town and hearing the history of various locations. The e-bikes were great and made the tour just fun and comfortable.

Emerged from water

Saw this prompt and wanted to give it a try.

Me

A black and white close-up portrait with visible water droplets and small bubbles on the face like the subject just emerged from water. The mood should feel intense and cinematic, with a dark, minimal background.

GPT-4o

Looks really intense to me. I’m not so sure it looks like me, but it does look a lot like my Grandpa to me. Oh wait, maybe I’m just old!? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

See my cousin Quinnโ€™s.

A brand new AI startup with great pedigree and a $12 billion valuation.

Thinking Machines Lab, a buzzy AI startup founded by Mira Murati, raised $2bn in new capital, valuing the firm at $12bn. Ms Murati has recruited an impressive roster of researchers from OpenAI, where she was previously chief technology officer. That helped to persuade Nvidia and AMD, two giant chipmakers, to invest, even though the firm currently lacks much of a strategy (or revenue). โ€” Economist, World in Brief, July 16, 2025

These numbers make the “dot com” bubble look like nothing.

Iโ€™ve been getting great responses from Claude lately and using it even more than ChatGPT. Iโ€™m wondering if ChatGPT’s memory feature doesnโ€™t make it a little โ€œover fitโ€ to the user. Claude seems to have an easier time coming up with fresh ideas. So interesting.

Delicious smashburgers tonight. Everything else as dialed in and just right! ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”

Look up. ๐ŸŒณ
