A single message from 🦞 Lobster (@openclaw) told me: • My aircraft landed in Istanbul • It flies to Seattle next • It operates my flight tomorrow No dashboards. No switching apps. That's where we're headed. Intent in. Coordination out. Apps fade into infrastructure.

Coming soon, HomeClaw, HomeKit support for your OpenClaw or Claude Code (MCP Server and CLI). Testing it out on my two HomeKit homes first. HomeClaw will allow you to allow/block certain devices from being accessed.

@1Password in Safari is so unreliable. Always says it's locked when it's not. Passkey always messed up. Is this just the way it is and I should switch to Chrome?

What we need for Agents. A concept of a lockbox. A way for me to give an agent a one time use password or passcode I can sign with my passkey so it can do something once on my behalf with an audit trail. @1password has most of this in place.

I just told Claude Code to figure out how to connect to my Car so I can send it remote commands. 10 minutes. "Your Macan is alive and talking! Battery at 80%, locked, sunroof open."

My OpenClaw assistant, Lobster 🦞, is up and running. What it can do for me: 1. Control my Sonos network. 2. Research music to play and get creative about playing things in the house. 3. Handle simple email and browsing tasks for me. All via Lobster's dedicated iMessage number. It runs in a VM

This is so great. I'm having Claude Code take some Airtable apps I've built and turn them into web apps I can host myself. Half way done and I'll save $300 a year I spend on Airtable which I can feed to tokens instead.

Currently at 40,000 feet and the AirPods Pro 3 have better noice cancellation than the AirPods Pro Max. Not even close. No wonder Apple hasn't refreshed Max. They have to catch up.
