This was quite straightforward by the way. 1. Install a client 2. Choose (& download) a model 3. Chat No dollars were (directly) spent (today). Offline, I was.

I’ve been waking up to the radio (91.9 FM these days) and really enjoying it. Check out this station map that can update based on location! It looks like this will get me pretty close to what I need for this morning’s road trip. I can’t be bothered to scan 📻 worldradiomap.com/us-ga/atlanta

I’ve yet to give a commercial LLM provider access to my *entire* file system (as far as I’m aware). It’s tempting because there’s a lot I could clean up but something never felt right about the indexing of my files being *the product* but this, this I can see about mljourney.com/how-to-run-l...

Some of the other stories I gathered here include the time Prince invited me to his house, a glimpse at the Myst-like CD-ROM game he released in the 90s, some digital artifacts that I had the only copy of—including Prince’s own notes on his greatest hits, and the message behind his Super Bowl show.

I wonder how familiar the name of this neighborhood is to residents of Atlanta. Everyone knows Bankhead, Old Fourth Ward, Grant Park, etc. Where is Fairlie-Poplar??

On my run this morning I noticed a big sign for WERD, a radio station. I was on Auburn Avenue so I knew it had to have some history behind it. Turns out it was the first Black-owned and operated radio station in the nation! www.friendsofgeorgiaradio.org/atlanta-860w...

Its always unnerving to see people talking about war like its sports game, supporting their respective teams, like its not something with extraordinary destruction that, under the BEST of circumstances, those who haven't been obliterated, will need to spend many decades attempting to rebuild from.

I don't always read on my tablet, but when I do, it's because the book is excellent and teaching me a lot about something I am interested in & happens to have been available in PDF form!!
