Finished 2025: Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey 📚 Listened to this audiobook on a roadtrip. Good stories and some nice wisdom nuggets. Definitely entertaining as an audiobook with McConaughey doing the reading. Not sure if it would carry as well on the written page.

A #Caturday tribute to Louie, who left us this week. He was an old man with so much character. He was a bit of a curmudgeon, but over the last year he learned how to snuggle from our younger cats. He will be missed! 🐈📸

Anthropic Claude straight up lied to me today, twice!

I’ve been trying out Claude for a project and I’ve had probably 20 highly technical conversations with it over the last couple of weeks. With a lot of back and forth and iteration , I am usually able to accomplish each phase of the project without too much frustration. Let’s just say it’s been educational. But it’s always been purely technical and “professional” interaction.

Today…

Congratulations, Oregon Ducks on an undefeated regular season! Next stop: Big 10 championship game where they will face Penn Stateate. Go Ducks! 🦆🏈
