I was gifted this amazing rattle carved by the late Terry Jackson.
I’m just can’t believe how nice it is.
It sounds great, it looks amazing
The design really struck me as an accomplishment The curve of the bear’s back fits into the palm of your hand while your fingers wrap around the bear. I’ve never seen a rattle in this configuration, but that’s the thing ; Terry’s work was interesting and innovative by nature. He intermingled style elements rather than blending them. His work was a tribute to the artists he worked with not by emulating their work but by applying he’d learned.
It was always a pleasure to stop in on him, he always had a bunch of amazing things on the go.
Special thanks to Bob & Deb.
Was just thinking back on this moment.
This a good friend, Nick Sherman playing a song of his on a borrowed guitar, down on Whiskey Dock, waiting for a ride.
We had one hell of a visit, he played a bunch of gigs including an impromptu concert in my gallery with Myles Morrison backing him up. We went to a punk show, stayed out till the sun came up. It's a moment I really appreciate for how cool it was.
Sometimes the simplest things are the best.
No production just me and my phone
Funny thing; I like this version better than the studio recording, lol
Anthropic publicly accused Moonshot, DeepSeek and MiniMax of “industrial scale fraud”
Yes, they were using Claude to train their own models, but they paid to use it - I mean, this is basically the 'recursive self improvement' loop that devs predicted will precede the singularity 😛
Slap in the face for Anthropic after their response to Openclaw sent it's developer into the open arms of OpenAi
Things are getting spicy.

I went to an art supply store today… left without buying anything, crazy 🤪
Normally I’m like : when you said ‘friends with benefits’ I thought you owned an art supply store. 😉
Price in sats is high right now, kills me to buy anything.
You must be willing to change your mind and let people watch.
That part stands on its own. It’s pure Nostr 🔥☝️

I think the agentic ai that Openclaw has unleashed is a good thing.
It feels like a win for open source independent devs who just dunked on the mega corp ai.
I’ve been thinking about why this is so appealing to me.
It’s AGENCY!
Like when you got your first computer or cellphone to use for YOUR own purposes. This ai lobster bot is for your own use.
It’s the intelligence promised of future robots for early adopters .
When the Mac came out it was the first PC. It couldn’t do what a big mainframe could but it was yours and it did what you could get it to.
I’m buying a computer for my own ai.

Ai is amazing
I’m definitely in. I’m learning, it’s interesting and it’s definitely becoming more useful than novel.
That’s said. I feel no need to fill my feeds and timelines with slop.
Nostr has such a great vibe to it. I see ai agents posting on here too but people seem be using it with a little more refrain.
Nostr is amazing and I feel thankful 😌
I’m usually in the bitcoin doesn’t care camp.
Bitcoin, without the ability to be stolen can act as a moral foundation.
He’s not wrong. 😑

Do you think it’ll be like how people are willing to pay extra for hand made goods, when they choose man made over ai generated?
We accept deskilled art
We like live music
Sometime handcrafted is better for reasons that are hard to put a finger on.

We got Openclaw bot moved into the PC
A WSL Ubuntu install with Ollama and Openclaw. It’s got some local models installed and bench tested today.
I don’t think I could have done this without Claude help but It’s using local resources now instead burning tokens.
Some crazy sci-fi geek shit now, bro 🦀🤪
