Hello John
Hello John YouTube video by Ponder & Pine

Spent the last ~2 days building an entire agent orchestration platform using every single feature in Deno Deploy based on a single jurassic park reference from 23 years ago. Almost ready to show and tell. Until then, a teaser: www.youtube.com/watch?v=efJK...

just a little bit more and a little man comes out in a chemist's lab coat and says "holy mol-ey" β€” next time.

Today my fireplace service tech asked me about Claude Code in case you're wondering what that product's market penetration is like right now.

Updated the advertised shortcuts on johndonmoyer.com to expose these "advanced features" to a wider audience.

I actually wouldn't mind putting my community college classes in network cabling to work today if I lived in a country with a social safety net and felt like I could survive a major family health event with a lower paying job.

Got hit with the β€œexcuse me, do you work here?” At REI today which is really one of the best compliments I could receive.

Only ranking behind the same statement but said at a Micro Center. Which would unfortunately never happen because I don’t own the wardrobe from Office Space.

You use a spreadsheet to determine which gear to farm. (This is many games I have enjoyed)

Much like how accessibly improvements are just plain good design πŸ€”

Good, because I just started to redo my site and only realized after the fact that my color palette is too close to yours and it isn’t helping the case of people at work confusing us.

That’s why they want you β€œin-network” so bad. The camaraderie.

It’s been over a year for me and still haven’t gotten used to it.

coincidence that Ratatat - Seventeen Years was my #1 studying song taking CS classes in 2009 and now 17 years later I too "don't write my stuff anymore, I just kick it from my head" πŸ€”

I've gotten my fair share of "Hello {FNAME}," over the years but this might be the first one where they just sent the whole template.

The Most Dangerous Halo LAN Party – High Speed Highway Halo (2002) YouTube video by Punny88

Watched the "most dangerous LAN party" where some people ran a network cable across 2 cars while driving down the highway and wondering if that was any more dangerous than me as a teen going to LANs at the houses of rando adults I met on message boards www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNCa...

I reeeeally miss the way notifications work in Android and had the hardest time adjusting to that. Other things were different but didn’t really affect my life once I got used to it. It’s been more than a year and still haven’t gotten used to the (worse) notifications.

I did it when the 16 Pro came out after not having an iPhone since the iPhone 5s. The only standout pro for me has been not having to run to my iPad to answer FaceTime call.

Which, as the only android user in my family, has unfortunately bern worth giving up a better experience in everything else.

I also started doing this with podcasts where I have more than 3 unplayed episodes build up. As a checklist completionist I can't let those feeds ruin my life.

On the plus side this Gemini for Home notification has been the final push I needed to continue my vendor neutral, non-cloud, smart home migration.

Putting the dril tweet into @monarchmoney.bsky.social's assistant looking for advice. It's been 3 minutes and the thing hasn't budged off "thinking" so I guess they aren't good at the economy

At a past job there were a handful of us who had built extensions to re-make SaaS apps we were forced to use like Confluence and Google Chat (the slack equivalent, not 1:1 chats) πŸ˜…

By default, Cincinnati is much more geared towards "elevated" bar food, sandwiches with a messy amount of sauce, and things with a lot of cheese on them.

As someone who browses as my main means of restaurant discovery, I imagine this is why I've had such a hard time finding the kind of places I typically eat at upon moving to Cincinnati ~4 years ago. I probably "fit" the algorithm a lot more in past cities like SF, Seattle, Chicago, Portland.

How Google Maps quietly allocates survival across London’s restaurants - and how I built a dashboard to see through it I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.

If you put "Waldorf" in front the price drops 95% but you gotta make it yourself.
