Honestly, we were all better off with GeoCities websites. I post about React, scrolling graphics, hikes, and dad jokes ✝️

Fun project on Perplexity Computer: Asked it to design a GTA V mission where you vibecode GTA VI from an in-game phone while the devs call the cops on you for shipping GTA VI before them.
It went through the FiveM docs (natives, ped models, server convars, the limits of the in-game browser) and built the mission as a FiveM resource in Lua. Then it built an MCP bridge, a small local Node service that signs in to the Perplexity Computer MCP server with OAuth and turns your in-game prompt into a real Computer task.
The phone streams Computer's steps live during the chase, you answer its questions and approvals while driving, and you ship the build by losing the cops at the airport hangars.
For the voices, Computer rented a cloud GPU and ran Qwen3-TTS locally on it, with no TTS API, to voice every line of dialogue.

I'll bite. 😅
I review resumes, linkedin profiles, and portfolios every other week as part of my job. I recently realized that I need to set a better example in some areas...so I used the lovely and free ChatGPT credits I recently obtained to do just that.
I plan to update the verbiage eventually...
Feel free to offer constructive criticism. Want to give me some harsh truths? DM me. lol

Adicionei colecionáveis e missões com os aviões no tinygyn.com! Assim você aprende um pouco sobre Goiânia enquanto explora.
Agora também temos:
- Multiplayer (você vê outros aviões)
- Manobras
- Leaderboard (vem aí speedrun de Tiny Gyn?)

Vibe coded my parents' TV this afternoon!
It was showing a sponsored ad before you could even get to Netflix.
Gave Claude Code the model number, it found the TV on wifi, removed 25 Xiaomi packages and wrote a new launcher.
Looks like an Apple TV now lol

Should totally be asleep right now but had to have a little play now that we can turn all our images into SVGs with @ideogram_ai ! What a time to be alive! 😃 Knocked up a quick logo video in @Replit. Now to 😴.

Updated the Learn Arduino app with more lessons, multi-language support, and a new schematic view!
Also planning to make a separate app for ESP32 lessons.

Today was such a dream. It was surreal to watch this experience that I’ve spent a year building come to life.
Everyone who attended was so kind and engaging, and it was really special to share today with them. Thank you for showing up in a huge way at Resend Forward 2026!

Now with the trailer 😁. Everything you see in this video is the actual gameplay. Nothing is faked pre rendered video ⚡

Friday was my last day at @ZephyrCloudIO.
Now, I'm looking for my next role. I've been agentic coding and learning how to be more efficient with token usage. I led our company in UX design and engineering. I would love to stay in a UXE role, but open to leadership roles as well. I learned that my leadership skills have tremendous value with my experience.
If you have an opening, or know someone that may, please let me know. I had other co-workers impacted as well, and can vouch for them.

Come work with me :)
I'm hiring 50 staff software engineers this month to join our team at g2i.ai. You'll work with top frontier labs doing evals/creating datasets.
$200 - $300 /hr. Remote. The work is not easy and it's tedious, but pays well.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The job is for a ~2-week contract AI evaluation gig at $100-300/hr as a contractor, not permanent full-time staff positions joining the team.

A lot of people asked me for the sources of the @threejsconf badge, so here they are : hervestudio.github.io/badge-…
It's a very DIY project and far from perfect, but that's also what makes it approachable: everything can be rebuilt with a soldering iron, a 3D printer and a few cheap components.
I tried to document it as clearly as possible, so you can either build it as is or use it as a starting point for something else. If anything is unclear, just write to me :)

One year ago today, I got the text that my brother was missing.
I don’t think I’ll ever forget that moment. I didn’t know then that my life, and our family’s lives, were about to be divided into a before and an after.
The days that followed were a blur of phone calls, searching, organizing, hoping, and trying to make sense of something that made no sense. So many people showed up for us. Friends, family, strangers, first responders, volunteers. People who barely knew Colin spent hours looking for him because they knew how much he meant to us.
And then came the news no family ever wants to receive.
A year later, I still find myself thinking about that first text. About the confusion. About the frustration. About how desperately we hoped we would find him. About all the things I wish I could go back and change. About how quickly an ordinary day can become the day everything changes.
Colin was so much more than a missing person on a flyer. He was my big brother. He was a son, a dad, a friend, a nerd, a funny guy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He was someone who was deeply loved.
Today is one year since we started looking for him.
I miss you, Colin. I always will. ❤️
