  • Claude 4.0 Sonnet For WordPress Plugins

    I just tried Claude 4.0 for a quick little WebP converter plugin for internal use. It worked really well. Even when something didn’t quite work the way I thought it would, I went back and it fixed it. Pretty nifty.

  • Substack’s New Valuation… My Thoughts

    Worth a read about Substack and their $1 billion+ valuation. [journalistspaythemselves.com/p/why-sub…](https://journalistspaythemselves.com/p/why-substack-s-new-valuation-means-a-monopoly-is-brewing) I can’t stand how people using Substack generically. It’s a newsletter, not a Substack. Even the old school media is using the term like that. Substack still platforms questionable people (read: Nazis) and doesn’t like to talk about it. This is one of the…

  • Grandma

    My Grandma was my best friend. She was the most amazing wonder woman. Smart, fun, loving. She was such a great role model for me growing up. I’m lucky to have had her for more than 28 years of my life and I miss her every day. How many college kids on their time home…

  • It’s the economic climate, not just me.

    Just had a call with another marketing professional that I know from my area. She confirmed that business is slow for her too. This doesn’t make me feel any better, but at least I know it’s not something I did. Just gotta keep networking and work on building out the Podcast coaching business. This is…

  • Billy Joel Documentary On HBO Max

    Just saw this great documentary (part one of two) on Billy Joel — Billy Joel: And So It Goes. He is such a talented guy and his music is amazing. I never knew how autobiographical his songs were. This documentary really makes me appreciate his music even more than I did before. ​The first part…

  • Fun times in the Pocano Mountains

    Fun times in the Pocono Mountains. At Camelback with the wife and kid. They have a great water park.

  • Packing Hell

    Why is it that even packing to go on an overnight vacation takes so much effort. I don’t remember this being such a process when I was in my 20s. Probably because the amount of stuff I have to remember and bring has grown as I age. Especially since having a kid, the amount of…

  • The Worst People Are In Charge Of The Most Powerful Tech… AI

    We have some of the worst humans in charge of the most powerful technology out there… Artificial Intelligence. [@anildash](https://micro.blog/anildash@me.dm) on the Intelligent Machine Machines made this point and it was hit home by the hosts, [@leo](https://micro.blog/leo), [@jeffjarvis](https://micro.blog/jeffjarvis@mastodon.social), and Paris Martineau. It’s scary, really scary. And these people support the fascist regime in the White House…
