Confession: It’s been a while since my last post on Nostr I’ve been busy. Lots going on IRL, some good, some bad - but it’s kept me tied up. My ai assistant is helpful - but the time spent working on it absorbed the time gained by using it. I feel more organized- The signal : i finally got a few moments to look at social media and I go to Nostr not some crumby platform. 😁 Hope you all have the best day ever.

The mini arrived and I got Openclaw + Ollama + Obsidian installed. 48hrs of work with no problems at all - amazing On the PC it was endless issues and troubleshooting. #openclaw #mac #mini #ai

Now I actually want to go, fuk. 🫤 View quoted note →

Maple Tree Blossoms are edible. Eat them raw, in salads, sandwiches, use them as garnishes or steep them in tea. Indigenous were thankful for some variety after the winter. These tender greens taste kind of like broccoli

It struck me as odd that Elon Musk recently discouraged saving for retirement. People are wrestling with the very concepts of savings and value View quoted note →

OpenClaw update 2026.4.12 is quite a level up. I don’t want to spew about ai on Nostr but I did want to point out that I was able to get a lot further toward a fully autonomous bot. Updates to the memory system, dreaming and significantly better models, have reduced the troubleshooting. The bot is working away on its own - things are getting better. It’s building a couple of ambitious web projects and helping me juggle my schedule More impressively it’s learning and self improving - and it’s becoming genuinely useful.

HaveStatus — Have Status. Shop Indigenous.

Save money. Support Indigenous businesses.

'I vibed a thing' It's a website / app that shows you where the tax exempt gas n shopping, and indigenous owned businesses are for people who are 'Status Indians' When I travel I prefer to know where to get gas, eat, find a native friendly hotel

Today I made some strategic moves I killed my account with SiteGround after a couple of decades of hosting websites with them. I switched to a free cloudflare account, and moved my email to a free zoho account. I redirected, then moved my domain after setting it all up That's $200+ USD / year in savings My bot walked me thru it 🦞 We're working on a rebranded site from scratch now

First we wash the pallet Then we mix paint 🎨 #artlife #artstr #paint #studio #proofofwork
