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. 🤓
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. 💧
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 today…
- 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 like…
- 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. Hmm… trying to leave this be until the eggs hatch. 😬
Sauna fired up for a morning sweat.
First smash burgers of 2025! 🍔
Getting the pool ready for summer!

It was awesome to see @davoh for a delicious coffee at Five Watt today! The conversation covered much ground and could have continued on if not for a lack of time. 🤝
I’ve never had an Apple TV require this Recovery Mode. It seems to be working fine to fix it.
This is a bit goofy but I like goofy. 😊
- Received email — there is an Internet Phone Book? 🤔
- Used site lookup search to see if I’m in it. ✅
- Ordered a copy of Internet Phone Book. 🛒
The initial run of 500 copies sold out in less than 24 hours.
At our Q2 #TeamSPS company meeting I was honored to share the stage with Elizabeth Neuville and Christy Sovereign and announce our support of the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games — SPS Commerce is the official Bocce sponsor! Why Bocce? It needs the most volunteers and TeamSPS values volunteering!
