There’s no need to engage an intergalactic digital supply chain just so I can get a nice sequence of cable pulls followed by overhead press.

A terminal window running Ollama on macOS, showing a chat session where the user prompts an AI to act as a kinesiologist and physical therapist. The user describes their apartment gym’s equipment (Smith machine with cable racks, lat pulldown/row machine, leg curl/extension machine, two benches, 10–50 lb dumbbells, up to 40 lb kettlebells, mats, medicine balls, resistance bands, and a jump rope) and requests a 45-minute upper body and core workout routine. The AI is shown in a “Thinking…” state, beginning to outline its reasoning process.

I am a lifetime member of team Magnolia grandiflora 🙇🏾‍♂️😍

A large southern magnolia with dense, dark evergreen foliage dominates the center, surrounded by deciduous trees in early leaf under a clear blue sky.

this weekend i think we had a breakthrough i piqued his interest by working with him to create an *extremely* hypothetical architectural diagram for Uber to break down some concepts in a domain he's familiar with (he happened to ask "where would Java connect to SQL?" so this was part of my answer)

Architecture diagram showing a hypothetical Uber system where client UIs (user and driver admin) communicate with a Java application server via HTTP methods and JSON, which in turn queries a SQL database storing driver and rider data.

I remember so badly wanting to need to use this application as a kid. Little did I know I would grow up to synchronize the contents of files on my computer with remote file folders for a living.

Welcome to the neighborhood fellow tech professionals and enthusiasts! On my walk this morning, I was reminded by someone’s lanyard that it’s @devnexus.bsky.social season. A beautiful Atlanta morning for it!

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!!

this thing right here 😮‍💨 who’s championing recovery? it feels like the focus is usually on the main thing which is great, but I like being able to do the main thing more fully At the Dogwood Festival Mimosa 5K this weekend at Piedmont Park I hope to qualify for a better Peachtree RR wave in July

this may not help with this particular book but I’ve also added the GA Download Destination card to Libby for a wider book selection

This screenshot displays a user’s library account overview. It shows membership at two libraries: Fulton County Library System (where they’ve used 1 of 15 available loans) and Georgia Download Destination (where they have 0 of 10 loans available). The screen’s purpose is to help users track their library cards and borrowing activity across multiple library systems, with an option to manage their cards at the bottom.

Freshly ground coffee + an excellent live album, then a short walk to get some bungee laces for a run back ending in a world-class park on this lovely day 🌞 & this is more than enough

Author’s turntable playing a vinyl record with an orange and blue Chess Records label. The album cover propped up behind it features bold red text listing artists like War, Curtis Mayfield, Kool and the Gang, and Gladys Knight & The Pips, this album is a live recording of a benefit concert. A small price sticker is in the top right corner. The record is spinning, and the tonearm is lowered onto it.

The back cover of the same album, featuring a message from the Congressional Black Caucus. The text acknowledges the collective fight for justice and thanks the artists for their contributions to a benefit concert. The record is partially visible at the bottom of the frame.

today, much love to: - the small block cheese bin for introducing me to a new cheese that I’m not gonna try to pronounce here plus some gouda, both at a reasonable price and size for a studio apartment - cast iron for melting the new cheese so perfectly and also making the crust so very crisp(y?)

Two blocks of cheese wrapped in parchment paper on the refrigerator shelf. The wrapper on the left is labeled “Butterkäse”; the wrapper on the right contains the block of gouda and is labeled “Gouda”

my favorite Stevie Wonder album is “Music of My Mind” but if I’m listening to “Fulfillingness’ First Finale,” it’s that. does that make sense?

Dang that is tough. You can have both it looks like. Also, I wonder if the handle has to be unique per provider but if you use your own you can take it with you wherever 🧐

I saw @angiejones.tech speak about web5 and DIDs at the Refactr keynote last year and was intrigued. It’s really cool to actually be on a DWA, now. It feels like a practical use of decentralization void of the crypto hype train I admittedly rode in the summer of 2021
