Got a crazy deal on a lightly used BMW iX to replace it and will be saving a ton, the car is far nicer inside and out, and I actually trust BMW’s engineering and service. Sad it didn’t work out with the Rivian, but excited for the new ride for Lacey.

NASA Artemis II live stream update:
Spaceflight Now has the raw feed of Houston and Integrity comms and video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8m9YdxgJ5g
The official NASA live stream (posted previously), has switched to a NASA spokesperson and interviews of folks on the sea/ground as part of splashdown recovery operations.
Choose your live stream:
* Houston, space, and astronauts talking: https://youtu.be/M8m9YdxgJ5g
* Spokespeople/interviews talking: https://youtu.be/m3kR2KK8TEs
or pull them both up on separate side-by-side monitors like they have on the desks at Mission Control.
About an hour left til splashdown!

I\u2019ve always felt uneasy about my birthday for a variety of reasons \u2013 it feels like a lot of my life\u2019s bigger emotional upheavals have happened within a few weeks of the day. After a while, I actually started planning to take myself on trips around now, both as a treat for myself, and also to put some distance there. It\u2019s worked pretty well, I think. Today\u2019s not much different \u2013 I\u2019m actually writing this post the day before and have it scheduled, as I\u2019ll be on the road. Just a day trip this time, but still.\n\n\n\nI\u2019ve been feeling a little weird lately anyway, honestly. We\u2019re in the process of preparing the house to sell (planning to list it at the end of the month-ish), and so I\u2019m trying to go through old boxes from the last move that I just hadn\u2019t gotten to (you know how it is), and we\u2019re whittling things down to put stuff in storage while we hit the road again \u2013 this time, the plan is to take a few months to trek across Canada. Exactly when and where will depend on when the house sells, but regardless it\u2019s the next plan. (Some of you may be wondering \u201cdidn\u2019t you just move in there?\u201d And you\u2019re right \u2013 it\u2019ll be not quite 2 years here. Lovely house, no real regrets, but for various reasons I\u2019m not going to bother enumerating, we decided it was time to move on.)\n\n\n\nI\u2019ve always had this sort of vision of having a place that acts like a base of operations \u2013 a spot to come home to, yes, but also a spot to re-collect yourself before you take off on another wander. I\u2019m pretty sure I\u2019d need to win a small lottery to pull off affording both the home\u00a0and\u00a0the travel these days, though. So for now it seems like an either/or, and the scales for both Simone and I have tipped towards the wander.\n\n\n\nI\u2019ve been trying to put out a weekly longer, non-life post the past few weeks, and I plan to continue that, but I\u2019m taking an indulgence this week. It\u2019s my birthday, so I\u2019d appreciate it if you could do me a favor: just do your best. Even if it\u2019s small increments, move forward on getting a little bit happier, a little bit safer and more secure, a little bit more in a good headspace than you were yesterday. That\u2019s all I really want for my birthday, just everyone I care about to be alright, or at least moving in that direction. I know that\u2019s a lot to ask these days, but try. It\u2019d mean a lot to me.",

Lovely house, no real regrets, but for various reasons I\u2019m not going to bother enumerating, we decided it was time to move on.)</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve always had this sort of vision of having a place that acts like a base of operations \u2013 a spot to come home to, yes, but also a spot to re-collect yourself before you take off on another wander. I\u2019m pretty sure I\u2019d need to win a small lottery to pull off affording both the home\u00a0<em>and</em>\u00a0the travel these days, though. So for now it seems like an either/or, and the scales for both Simone and I have tipped towards the wander.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been trying to put out a weekly longer, non-life post the past few weeks, and I plan to continue that, but I\u2019m taking an indulgence this week. It\u2019s my birthday, so I\u2019d appreciate it if you could do me a favor: just do your best. Even if it\u2019s small increments, move forward on getting a little bit happier, a little bit safer and more secure, a little bit more in a good headspace than you were yesterday. That\u2019s all I really want for my birthday, just everyone I care about to be alright, or at least moving in that direction. I know that\u2019s a lot to ask these days, but try. It\u2019d mean a lot to me.</p>"

Only halfway through the first episode of For All Mankind season five, and I’m calling it — they’re going to cryogenically freeze Ed Baldwin.

After the OpenClaw Anthropipocalypse, I have been struggling to find a suitable alternative. Started with OpenAI Codex, and while it matches Opus 4.6’s 1M token context window, it is just not well suited for the use case of orchestration and friendly assistant. It has a tendency to hallucinate and its projected demeanor is… weird. It’s like concentrated Mark Zuckerberg from a personality perspective. Decently good at technical tasks, tho.
I am currently using z.ai with their “Coding” plan, and I’m impressed. GLM-5.1 is remarkably similar to Opus 4.6 in my experience thus far. The 200k token window is tiny, unfortunately, but with some creative use of subagents, it’s manageable. I’ve also kept Codex around for now, modifying my standard operating procedures to encourage the use of Codex subagents for grunt work that requires a large token count.

I’ve started blocking out an hour at the end of the day for prompting — capturing tasks and projects that get codified into Markdown files placed in an “ingest” directory. Then, I run a custom command that tells my agent to create a context fork for each file, autonomously executing each task in a sandbox. Then, I head home. If one of the forks encounters a blocker for any reason, it sends me a message on Signal which I can reply to or ignore.
