Had a fun day with my son-in-law and grandson going to the Penguins game yesterday! Kris Letang tossed a puck to my grandson during warmups! The game was pretty lackluster as they lost 5-1 but we had great burgers at Moonlit Burgers in Dormant afterwards!

Last night I got access to Claude's Dispatch so I plan on testing it out today as well as learning about the different capabilities that are available in the Claude ecosystem.

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 12:43:45 GMT

After reading Dave Winer's different blog posts about how he uses Claude I have decided to dig more into all of its capabilities. I have the Pro plan but haven't done much with it until now. Yesterday they announced Dispatch which is a new research feature that will let you use the Claude mobile app to run tasks on your Mac using the Mac Claude Desktop app. Sort of a controlled mini Openclaw. The Pro plan is supposed to get access to Dispatch over the next couple of days Should be interesting!

I really hate when winter lingers and causes mayhem after it has been so springlike!

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 12:47:42 GMT

Winter is sneaking back in for a couple of days! Hopefully this will be the last time for the season!

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 13:32:05 GMT

Doing some running around today and maybe a little coding later in the day.

We had unbelievable high winds most of yesterday with a lot of people in the area losing power and many trees coming down. Thankfully we had neither and shockingly no new shingles were blown off! 😀

I'm really looking forward to see how Frontier runs both on the current Mac OS and Linux. I loved using Frontier back in the 90s for running my server bureau workflow. Frontier controlled my Let'er Rip! software which downloaded Postscript to my Linotype. It was really sweet! And recently I took an old 2013 MacBook Pro I had stored away and installed Linux on it. I was very pleasantly surprised at how fast it ran compared to the older Mac OS that was installed on it originally. Can't wait to try Frontier on it!

Had to take care of some stuff at the studio yesterday so I didn't get as much accomplished with my TUI project that I would have liked. Hopefully today will be more productive.
