iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

A truly custom blog theme used to be a project. Now it's just a request for mockups and a couple sentences worth of feedback to an agent and it's done. Not surprised - but I wish I had all that time back.

Screenshot of johnwlittle.com with a minimalist white background, oversized blue “John W. Little” masthead, and the tagline “AI, Intelligence, Tech & Culture.” The main column lists recent articles with large blue numbers, bold black titles, and thin dividing lines. A right sidebar features a black-and-white portrait of a bundled-up mountaineer wearing reflective sunglasses, an About link, and recent Bluesky posts.

Was having my car serviced and the technician sent a video with all the key details (as they normally do). I forwarded it to my agent who clicked through to launch the video, transcribe it, analyze it, and save the event in an "Auto" history folder.

The inspection looks reassuring so far: the technician describes both air filters as still serviceable, despite caution flags on the checklist. Brakes, tires, and battery passed, and he reported no leaks. I don’t see a recommendation for extra repairs; I’m checking one small tire-measurement discrepancy before finishing the transcript

My recommendation is to stick with the routine service; the inspection doesn’t support extra repairs or replacing either filter now. The displayed total is $104.30.
Before leaving, ask them to confirm the tire rotation was completed and reconcile the right-rear tread measurement: the captions say 7/32 inch, while the checklist says 8/32.

Before connecting your inbox and files, it’s worth understanding what you’re handing over. A few practical thoughts on getting started safely: johnwlittle.com/agents-for-e...

My Kanban board project from a year ago has kind of blown up. It’s now KANBI OS: writing, projects, planning, and more. The app runs in your browser from a single hosted site (or locally), while your workspace data is saved encrypted on your own machine.

KANBI OS 2.6.0 welcome screen in white and blue. The headline reads “Your workspace. Right on your computer.” Features include Projects & Calendar, Writer & Journal, Bluesky & IRC, and an optional agent. A Welcome back panel has an empty passcode field and an Unlock with security key button.

Did you launch a simple web server?

Beefing up my AI log assistant tool. It proactively alerts me to system issues and I can chat with it about the activities of my various agents.

The platform I'm building generates a ton of log entries so I created a custom model and script that runs in terminal and updates me, informally, on the system status every 5 minutes. I can ask it questions about the logs as well.

Made the menu for toggling model flags much more dynamic. It activates automatically for Qwen3 models and can be toggled on for other models if desired.

Qwen3:14b is pretty impressive so I added the ability to toggle several of its output modes to Model Deck. It also deactivates thinking by default when it loads the model. The output for that mode is a bit much for a lot of use cases. johnwlittle.com/model-deck-a...

Working on building a web front end for Ollama - allows for really fast switching between local models I'm working on.

“You cannot doubt the existence of hell. You live in it.”

Still from the scene from the movie The American where the priest tells George Clooney's character “You cannot doubt the existence of hell. You live in it.”

Kindle replacement arrived - Kobo Libra Colour. Hardware is nice and the ecosystem is much more open - supports ePub directly, connects to Overdraft for library books, handles Pocket articles, and syncs with Dropbox/Google Drive. No Amazon walled garden. #ereader #kobo
