I just had a clear idea for my next web application: a site to share, in chronological order, the places visited during a trip. It will be named Numeric Citizen Trails. My next trip is to France in June. I should have enough time to develop this application by then. I can't wait to get started. First step, writing the set of queries for Claude AI. πΊοΈ
This website was not functioning or being updated for some time until recently. I'm glad to see it back and active. Although I don't want another beta for iOS 26.6, it seems the trend is unlikely to favor my preference.
Digg is back... well, sort of. After a failed rebirth attempt, now they try again, but this time, it's quite different. It seems all about AI gathering news about AI. I live their new logo, though.

Spyglass has a new (or reworked) newsletter called "inklinks" that I much prefer to the previous format. Great newsletter name. It's a must read, from a well-known author in the Apple blogosphere. I'm still impressed by the number of inline links spread across on a single newsletter issue; how does he maintain such a capability to link back like this? π€
One of the best OpenClaw quick startup guides. She's a bit hyper, but she's doing a great job at summarizing the setup to get you up and running fast with OpenClaw. I put that aside a few days after OpenClawd was released, but I'm starting to wonder if I should pay more attention to it now that things are maturing.
Getting ready to tell it all... π΅π»ββοΈπ
