Messing around with my AI agent, Quicksilver, while waiting for Fable to re-write our entire ad sales workflow and I came up with this, using ShadoW-Shinigami’s Hermes skill for adding video to Suno songs. youtu.be/Jgxch4erM… Enjoy!

Such a wonderful moment. Thanks T&T for asking me to officiate. It’s was a true honor.

Have you ever started whistling a song without knowing what the song was until you hit the chorus? Well I just did. The brain is a weird and wonderful thing.

MacBreak Weekly listeners: One of our providers (Megaphone) was down for 17 hours yesterday which caused a problem with Apple Podcasts. Some listeners trying to download the show yesterday were told it was paid only. Not on my watch! It’s fixed now. Try again and my apologies!

After a couple of (very productive) months using Claude code with Claude Max subscription I’ve decided to give GPT 5.3 Codex a try with OpenAI’s max subscription. It feels like a break up. Is that weird? I have to pack up all of Claude’s stuff and put it out on the stoop while Codex moves in.

It’s so unsettling watching our 250 year-old democracy decay into dictatorship while the most disruptive technology since steam power is evolving at superhuman speed. It’s like watching a locomotive barrel headlong into a tornado. I have a bad feeling about this.

And just to prove Claude Code really can do some interesting things, I just used it to add the ability to post here to Emacs. It referred to several Micro.blog posts and set it up in one shot.
