Miami is #1 in the AP poll for the first time since 2002. My confidence level in the team’s ability to win it all is at its lowest this season, but maybe I’m being too harsh. It’s not easy to win every game that you play in a power four conference.

Why I'm rebuilding my IndieWeb projects with Claude

I recently came across Brennan's post noticing that Claude Code has been showing up in the commit history of a bunch of my IndieWeb projects lately. That's true! I was wondering when someone would notice. I haven't been hiding it, but I also haven't written anything about why I'm doing it, so this seemed like a good time to finally get my thoughts down.

Big color ePaper is so fun! I've been wanting to do this for so long, and finally got around to it!

I bought a regular picture frame, and a raw 8x10" ePaper Spectra 6 panel. It's basically as thick as a piece of thin cardboard. I cut a mat down to size for the 11x17" frame, cut a slot in the back for the controller. Now it hangs on the wall next to all the regular posters!
