In August I spent 30 days (and my own hard-earned money) testing the "premium" AI models offered by Anthropic, namely Claude Opus 4 (and later 4.1). Previously, the invention of LLMs has been compared to that of the printing press, the smartphone, etc. My experience has revealed a much better analogy, at least from a user perspective: The humble Pedalo.

After a weekend tinkering with the new Bases feature of Obsidian, I want to share some cool formulas I came up with, that will hopefully power up your bases as much as they did mine.
I've previously written about how regular keyboards suck. I've also laid out options to mitigate many of their flaws. But how do you practically go about building your own better keyboard? In this post, I'll try to answer that question and also share my—admittedly short—journey with building (step one and two to) my dream keyboard.
A standard ANSI or ISO qwerty keyboard is a terrible design from beginning to end. Place your hands on your knees, relax your wrists, and follow me, as we explore the individual problems in hardware, software, and layout, and look at alternatives to them all.
I've been using SimpleLogin for two years now, but there's also addy.io. You probably don't know what email aliasing is, because otherwise you'd already be using it. So let me explain.
Kagi is the hip new player entering the search engine market. I've been using it for a bit more than a year now. And though it's very unlike me, I want to promote their service and get you to try them out.
I'm not being paid for this or anything, so why am I such a fan girl—for a search engine of all things!? I typically don't gush about any TV shows or films, and especially not about (tech!) companies, but Kagi just does some things so right that I want to support them by advertising their product.
A friend asked me about how I manage personal projects. Stuff like learning skills and building small apps. I don't have all the answers. But I did start out struggling with this a lot and have since reached a point where I do have more peace of mind and am happier with how I'm managing my efforts.
Witch: What do you think of my videos? Ouroboros: I like that on some platforms these videos automatically loop. Because of their density they are highly rewatchable.
Witch: What do you think of my videos? Mermaid: When I am caught in a cycle of scrolling through feeds I am delighted to find your videos in between them. On the surface they seem like any other quick and easy-to-consume content, but there's much more going on below.
