NOTES
No algorithm. No feed. Just things I wanted to write down.
This is where the site gets personal. Technology, AI, travel, money, ideas, lessons, observations — there doesn't need to be one theme.
I Love How Google Is Making AI Powerful, Local, and Easier to Trust
Why Ollama, AI Edge Gallery and Foresight have increased my confidence in local AI.
The AI Coworker Needs an Emergency Brake—but Can Startups Afford One?
How small teams can gain the leverage of autonomous agents without paying endlessly to supervise them.
Muse Made AI Personal. Dots Made It Feel Like a Coworker.
The exciting—and unsettling—shift from asking an AI for help to giving it an ongoing responsibility.

A seven-year-old idea about exchange without immediate money feels newly relevant in the age of AI—but also more complicated.
Localhost Is No Longer Local
Cloudflare Quick Tunnels, AI coding tools and the shrinking distance between an idea and something the world can try.

Technical notes
Things learned while working with distributed systems, cloud platforms, Java, Kafka, data stores and whatever I'm learning next.
Everything else
Trips worth remembering, useful financial lessons, product ideas, observations and stories that don't belong on a résumé.
