Back in LA after a lovely Easter week in Palm Desert. Happy to be home, but I’ll miss the pool and the stars! I did receive some fun packages while I was away, including an XTEINK X3 to go with my X4.

I’m so happy Daredevil is back. The O.G. Netflix series was great thanks to lovable characters, a great villain, and John Wick level fight scenes.
Born Again got off to a rocky start in S1, with multiple rewrites, pivots, and chaos that were evident on the screen, but at least it was on screen.
S2 of Born Again has recaptured the magic, with a budget clearly being put to work with well choreographed fight scenes in epic (expensive) settings. We also finally get some bonus heroes that participate.

Filed my 2025 taxes today (electronically). Payments mailed (physically).
Earliest in at least a decade, maybe two.
Took a very conscious and deliberate effort to get here. Prioritizing, cutting or postponing anything non-urgent, iterating and improving systems year over year (especially in coordination with an accountant), collecting clustering materials earlier, and more.
Completing these kinds of "required" tasks/projects sooner feels like it frees up mental (and emotional) bandwidth (not having them occupying daily thoughts) to dream, brainstorm, and make more creative things.

It’s a sad day for those of us leveraging our Claude fixed-price plans with OpenClaw. I don’t blame Anthropic one bit. It wasn’t a sustainable situation, but it sure was fun while it lasted.
One thing that is not clear to me — at my current level of usage, what would my bill look like for a month?
Time to immediately consider buying another M4 Mac Mini, or a Mac Studio that can replace my current primary Mac Mini.
