With all of the different current technologies that keep vying for my attention and begging me to learn about I sometimes feel the the dogs in the movie Up! Squirrel!!
Need to do some running around today and then take my grandson to soccer late in the afternoon. After soccer my wife and I will be babysitting two of our other grandchildren while their parents go to a concert. 😀

I just got access to Advanced Voice Mode in ChatGPT on both the iOS and Mac apps. Very interesting with a much more natural way of conversing. What caught me by surprise is I was watching a video about hurricane Helene and when I had fisnished ChatGPT asked me if I was in the path of the hurricane! Was not expecting that at all! Didn’t even realize she was listening! I need to do some more exploring especially on my Mac.
It’s starting out as a cool , rainy day with thunderstorms! ⛈️
Excellent post by Dave Winer about the situation we find ourselves in regarding abortion. It’s horrible what the white Republican men have done to the women of our country!
I need to make changes in my life instead of living in the past.
Kind of scary yet exciting: “It is possible that we will have superintelligence in a few thousand days (!); it may take longer, but I’m confident we’ll get there.” – Sam Altman
Cool and rainy today. But the Steelers won again! 😀
Every day I use Python for quick hit ideas run in the terminal. It is such an easy and simple yet robust language that just about any idea I have can be implemented in pure Python. There are so many cli tools built with Python that I use including ones I have created myself.
Good morning sports fans! It’s the Steelers home opener today!! 🏈

Just read a post by Dave Winer about healthcare as you get older that I really relate to. I’m a little bit older than Dave but I have been through very similar things with the healthcare system. It’s not fun.
My daughter has a small show today at the East Liberty Wine Festival. They invited her awhile back I think because she draws a lot of people but she sells stickers not wine! 😀 I won’t be at the show as I am working for my daughter today at the I Made It Market retail shop in the Mall at Robinson.
The Beatles Recording Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts club Band
Lot of logistics to figure out for tomorrow’s show. A lot of moving pieces! 🚚

Interesting read: Taste is Eating Silicon Valley - “Just as software ate the world and dramatically transformed industries in the last era, taste is now eating software—and with it, Silicon Valley”

Arrgh! Happy Talk like A Pirate Day!
Good morning! I’m going to add some blogging shortcuts to my Scripts menu in Drummer to quickly add things like video links, image links and code snippets as subs.

I’m going to put my Drummer script issues to the back burner and get back to my Python tools that I’ve let sit idle for too long!
Because I still haven’t time to fix my script I copied and pasted into my micro.blog site the missing information for the days I was testing the headings. Still not sure if I will continue to use headings but I still will look into the script as I have time.
The Federal Reserve just cut its benchmark interest rate by an unusually large half-point. This should really stir the election pot quite a bit!
Yesterday got away from me with some unexpected things coming up. ☹️
Busy day ahead.
Didn’t get a chance to do much digging into my script yesterday. Hopefully I can get to it today.
Morning notes
Had great ribs last night at Dee Jays!
Didn’t have much time to dig into my script issues with regard to these headers. Maybe this morning?

Having dinner with a good friend this evening at my favorite ribs place Dee Jays!
Haven’t had a chance to look into what my script is doing when I use these headers and nothing shows up on my micro.blog. Hopefully I can take a look this weekend and put a fix in place.
Good morning America! How are you?

The debate last night was a master class in dealing with a malignant narcissist. Harris laid traps for Trump that he just walked right into showing the country who he really is!
I absolutely love using Dave Winer’s Electric Drummer for writing my blog content and pushing it to multiple platforms. I also love the scripting capability! The only thing I wish I could do is call shell scripts with ED then I could use my other programming loves of bash and python to do some sweet automations! I have been using Keyboard Maestro as a go between using it’s url scheme which works but gets a little clunky at times.
Gotta love ChatGPT! I hadn’t had a header image since I shut down my old hosting site instead I just had a black background. This afternoon I used ChatGPT to create a few images and chose the one you’re seeing now. I will probably create a bunch more to play with! (This won’t show on my micro.blog site.)
Watching a very interesting interview with Simon Willison on the Software Misadventures Podcast. Some very enlightening ideas!
Another beautiful, crisp morning but the heat is coming back later in the week.
Working on a command line RSS retriever so I can store entries in Datasette.
The Steelers had an ugly win againast Atlanta yesterday! But it’s still a W!
Brisk morning! Feels like football weather! 🏈
Feels like fall this morning! 🍂
