Iβm wondering what MCP endpoints I would like to have:
- My blog
- Weekly Thing
- OmniFocus, that could be amazing
- Manuals for stuff I own
- My media library
- My photo library
- My house, or whatever that would mean
Boat Day 2025! Got the boat out just in time to get on Cannon Lake for Memorial Day.



How cool that the S3 Files app added a local MCP server so you can expose any S3 bucket of files to Claude or Cursor for local use.
Traeger Grill
My brother-in-law got a Traeger Grill a while back and he found he was never using it. They decided to get a Blackstone Flat Top and I volunteered to provide a good home for the Traeger they didn’t want. I got it fired up for the first time tonight.
Why get this when I’ve got a perfectly good Big Green Egg already? Brisket. I’ve never been able to do brisket acceptably on the Big Green Egg and I’m hoping I can get a great product off of the Traeger. Sure is simple to get going!


Got to do a firmware update on the Traeger Grill. π€
TeamSPS at the Cristy Rey “Ungala” tonight celebrating our long-standing partnership with the organization. It is a great program and amazing results. Proud that SPS Commerce can be part of it!
We put a Phyn Plus in our home and I had to celebrate getting to do a firmware update. The unit is now inline and it is super interesting to see the data on water consumption. I’m really curious to see what this shows over time. Plus a solid discount on homeowners insurance for having it. π§


I’ve been a bit obsessed thinking about AI agents and this definition shared by Willison from Anthropic’s Hannah Moran works for me.
Agents are models using tools in a loop.
Perfect. I might add “and have a memory” to that too, but that isn’t required.
Omnivore announced they were shutting down last October, but it wasn’t until this week I saw a group of Omnivore addresses subscribed to the Weekly Thing bounce. Seems they turned off the email addresses now.
Dave Winer todayβ¦
- The Beatles
- Personal computers
- The web
- Napster
- AI
It is interesting and I’ve made similar comparisons lately myself. It matters who your audience and point is for such a list. For technologists I keep saying it is likeβ¦
- GUI
- Internet
- Cloud
- Mobile
I think of those because they changed nearly everything about how technologists do their craft. I believe AI is going to do that too.
I went looking for this photo that I knew I had of my by an SR-71 Blackbird. I found it and then selected map view. It is cool how you can see the plane in the aerial satellite view. Location is pretty accurate at U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
Robin decided that a nest would be great on top of our irrigation controller. Hmmβ¦ trying to leave this be until the eggs hatch. π¬
Sauna fired up for a morning sweat.
First smash burgers of 2025! π
Getting the pool ready for summer!
