It's cold and rainy outside, so it seems like a great time to start Codex and the Vibe Code Things 3 replacement (yes, I'm going to drop it when I'm done!). I'm on a one-month free trial, which should be more than enough to achieve my goals: replace Things 3, learn to use Codex, and see how it compares to Claude Code.
I'm currently in a coffee shop, and someone outside, just the other side of the window where I'm sitting, is having a FaceTime call. I'm trying to step back and think about how cool this is, in the context of remembering how I imagined the future while watching space shuttle launches and Cosmos 1999. It still feels magical to me.
Search came to ChatGPT, here, now AI comes to Google Search. I'm not sure that I like Google's take, coupled with ads all over the place, which influence search results, on top of AI's potential hallucinations and shortcuts, how can we trust this? Returning to Kagi.

This morning, after 16 years on Vimeo, I deleted my account because I wasn't using it anymore. Honestly, beyond very niche visual and video domains, I cannot see how someone can expect to thrive on Vimeo these days. YouTube probably killed Vimeo.
IDE brought code auto-completion. AI brings app auto-completion.
And just like that, I realized it's easy to build a Chrome extension to serve as a front end for my bookmark manager web app. It's super easy to do... according to Claude AI. Filed in my small projects bin. πͺπ»
Similarly, for Steve Jobs, Dropbox was a feature rather than a full product. That's when Dropbox approached Apple for a buyout. He would probably suggest that AI is also a feature, not a standalone product.
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.
