People don’t buy AI, they buy capabilities.
Glad to see some normal Democrats getting some publicity — case in point is Andy Beshears on the Daily Show last night.
I struggle to deal with people who project of certainty of outcome.
I get energized by the uncertainty of outcome, and the goal of searching for the actions that get us there.
The pendulum has changed direction for football offensive / defensive advantage.
In both NFL and college, the championship game came down to defensive powerhouses with capable offenses. The past 15 years saw the rise of “offense is the best defense” to the point it was basketball-paced football.
These pendulum swings arise due to the advantage of being different. Enough of the competition spends their time and money on being the best at the same thing that an advantage arises by prioritizing a different aspect of the game. It’s fun to see participants in a 150 year old game evolve its strategy using comparative advantage.
I’ve been messing with AWS ECS today. For a fairly simple app / worker setup, it’s a PITA.
I had kamal working much quicker before I had access to AI tools.

My wife: I’m going to buy this food because my husband loves it, and I always see him eat it.
Me: I’m not buying that food because I can’t stop myself from eating all of it.
If you were in an Internet forum in 1995, you’d realize how much the current world feels like a 1995 Internet forum.
Sometimes, it takes 66 shots to get pissed enough to start doing something drastically different enough to start doing something different enough to have affects.
I don’t think I’ve ever actually closed the club face properly before.

I got what I finally feel like is closing the club face. At the beginning of the downswing, if I’m in the right setup, I can put as much pressure on the part of my trail hand circled in red. If I feel that and the lead hip counter balancing the club head, that seems to close the face properly.
My go-to breakfast so far in 2026. Scrambled eggs with Tabasco. Toast, tomatoes, and sliced banana peppers.
My teenage son calls me. But instead of asking for money, he asks for the username / password to the application he uses to pay for gasoline because it had logged him out.
A hackathon, but the output of a team is a prompt, and at the finale, the judged output will be the autonomous output of the prompt for each team.
The reason most people are afraid in the woods at night is because they think every little sound is an alarm bell.
But, they are just unfamiliar with the sounds of the woods.
And, they aren’t alarmed when the actual danger is present because they can’t get past the small issues.
This can be extrapolated to life, business, money, love, …
On the golf course, I’ve been pretty frustrated with balls going right lately. About 2 weeks ago, I started placing trail thumb over the club to have a more foundational group instead of along top of it. I’ve really struggled to shut the face.
I spent some time doing some drills with the Hack Motion to ensure the lead wrist is flexed at impact. With a weak grip that has the trail hand attached to the club properly, I don’t think I’ve ever actually felt how much extension is required in the trail wrist until today. To the point that after 50-ish swings, that trail wrist is tired.
The first step of my annual tax process is to take the basic income documents, throw them into tax preparation software, and get federal / state estimates.
Just having a guesstimate number keeps me from going crazing imagining what it could be.
Gross 34. Net 40. I’m currently tied for the lead. My distance off the tee was a huge help on this course.
The 2025 National Championship game was old school football. Great defense. Big hits. Running the ball to soften up the defense for the pass. And the refs kept the flags in their pockets.
I saw a shooting star this morning. Before sunrise, the sun’s light could be seen, a green flash quickly shot across sky.
You know how Solomon suggested cutting the baby in half knowing that the real mom would give up the baby rather than see it die?
I suspect the Noble Peace prize winner be like that too.
TIL: Treaty of the Danish West Indies
> a 1916 treaty transferring sovereignty of the Danish West Indies from Denmark to the United States in exchange for a sum of US$25,000,000 in gold ($722 million in 2024) and a declaration from the United States that it would "not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland".

This is a reminder I need to write a longer article on pursing metrics with authenticity.
A shortcut isn’t a shortcut if it didn’t take you to the goal.
Cursor's performance before 8am eastern is amazingly responsive. After 10am eastern, it turns downright sluggish.
