I swear, some days it seems I delete more email from my inbox without ever reading it than the ones I do end up reading…

I played hooky from work today to have a mental reset day. I take days like these every once in a while to do absolutely nothing productive and nap off and on. It was exactly what I needed.

I love early mornings when it’s quiet and there is a chill in the air. It’s mornings like these I wish I could make time stand still for just one extra hour.

My wife just purchased tickets for really good seats to see Aerosmith at the Hollywood Bowl at the end of this month. It’s a bucket list show for her, so I said go for it. It was not cheap…

I’m working on OutPost’s iOS layout to make better use of screen real estate. I’m liking where it ended up. Hopefully a new TestFlight with this and some other fixes by this weekend.

Here’s a check in the AI column… When asked last minute to provide an Excel spreadsheet of a complex Salesforce schema with over 500 objects and more than 8,000 fields, including the likelihood of which fields were PII related, Claude knocked it out in a matter of five minutes. To write the Python myself might have taken a day or two. Doing the task manually would have taken a month or more. To all the AI nay-sayers, every tool has its purpose.

My visit to the dentist yesterday afternoon netted me a possible need for a root canal and new crown on a molar that’s been problematic for years. Exactly the news I wanted to hear this week… 🙄

Okay, so I’ve been away from the Micro.blog timeline for a minute. What are some of the great things I’ve missed in the last, oh, six months? 🤣
