I've been needing a little more whimsy lately, so busted out an old Lofree Board and popped on some Numoji caps.

BAM.

Whimsified!

Love to see @theverge@mastodon.world not pulling punches

I'm building an app that probably not another soul needs...

A quick capture mechanism for the second brain I'm building with Obsidian and Claude.

At the very least I'm having fun along the way, and I'll wind up with something that scratches my exact itch!

On the off chance you want a really simple and fast way to capture thoughts/notes/links/quotes to #Obsidian on your Mac... I'll be asking for some beta testers soon. 🙌

Hitting inboxes tonight. It'd be super cool if you told a friend.

Legitimately so stoked for Joanna Stern's new thing -- Her premiere video is aces, just as you'd expect. Instant subscribe.

I've already been using Obsidian + Claude Co-work Automations in lieu of my OpenClaw set-up for a lot of things, but this new Claude Code routines feature might put the nail in the OpenClaw coffin for me.

The second brain / personal agent stack is getting so many great tools these days. I've got one more tool I'm bringing to the party shortly.

Dogfooding my app while I parse through early beta feedback on my app...

Beta testers are such a gift!

#BuildInPublic

I'm building a little utility to make #Obsidian a little more awesome... specifically, trying to help remove some of the friction with quickly capturing thoughts/notes/quotes/etc without context switching on the Mac.

Out of curiosity, for those that use Obsidian for PKM stuff, how would you prefer titles for new notes to be formatted when they're dumped in your inbox?

We could all use a nice distraction right now--

So I'm excited to share that the Photo Composition Challenge info site is LIVE!

I've got a really big beta update coming today with a cleaner Capture window and the number one most requested feature finally being added. (Any guesses?)

Woah, DaVinci Resolve officially adding photo editing is pretty cool. I've heard of people using it for photo editing even without the official support... I'm a long time FCPX user, but this may be enough to make me give it a try.
