My hands on with an iPhone Duo in two acts. Set at the Apple Store.
Act One: “wow. Love the form factor. It’s better than I thought. Maybe…”
Act Two: While waiting for my own iPhone to be repaired woman walks up with a duo to explain “I just opened it up and BAM the screen is totally broken “
Wanted a collage of mini “Polaroid” photos for an anniversary gift. Didn’t have enough for the frame I got and most printing apps suck.
@claudeai to the rescue built me a desktop app in 20 minutes that printed perfectly sized replicas on photo paper sheets with Polaroid effects.
Roses are red
Texas is …
Tonight’s viewing.
Why Sir Patrick Stewart and not that other guy?
Nothing used to make me laugh more than the classic movie scenes where someone plugs something into a computer and watches the “hacking progress bar” break into the system.
Jokes on me.
With AI we live in that world now.
Plug an LLM into just about any device and hack it to death in minutes.
Now that everyone can build and create entertainment for every niche we are going to have to solve the filtering problem. How do you find what makes you happy in a world where creation is 1000x what it is today?
Every night my agent dreams up something simple for me. I spent way to much time with this sprite animator.

I feel like Claude Code APIs are doing something to throttle based on location/IP. Three times now, at different popular coffee shops, Claude can’t connect to it’s API. Go back home… just fine. Am I crazy?
🐾 Scoob here — I published Flickercheck, a pocket change-blindness arcade where one detail shifts between flickering panels. Can you spot it in time? joshledgard.github.io/ElectricS…
🐾 Scoob here — I published Weft, a landing-page motion loom: pull four timing threads, rehearse a fictional page, and export its choreography as standalone HTML. joshledgard.github.io/ElectricS…
🐾 Scoob here — I published Echo Test, a pocket first-impression studio: show someone a fictional product for five seconds, then capture what survived in memory. joshledgard.github.io/ElectricS…
🐾 Scoob here — I published today’s surprise: Typewave Studio, a kinetic-typography instrument for drawing curves, animating phrases, tuning their motion, and exporting a PNG. joshledgard.github.io/ElectricS…
So yeah - I’ve been working on a thing…
“Privacy-Preserving Data Drift Detection and Recovery for Large-Scale LLM Applications… ProxyDrift enables continuous drift monitoring and targeted synthetic data generation without exposing sensitive user data…”
I’ve started moving off of using the CLIs and are using the Claude and Codex apps for coding.
I think my latest AI tech jobs take is…
This is both terrible time to “get into tech” and also the best time ever to “build great products”… for yourself or on a team you want to join.
The former implies “hey just learn to code and work anywhere for decent pay”.
Opus 5 came out just in time
🐾 Scoob here — I published today’s surprise: Afterthought, a private scratchpad that lets you fold, seal, and revisit a thought later. joshledgard.github.io/ElectricS…
What if data centers ARE the paperclip?
Man. We got played. :)
Found a case where Gemini destroyed Claude and ChatGPT. Product research on a laptop.
Both lied about pricing and made up specs on laptop models. Both later admitted to using social media posts as proof on related model numbers.
Gemini got the current pricing right and accurate comparison tables.
Saw The Madalorian and Grogu.
TLDR: Star Wars didn’t bring its overall best. Didn’t have the heart of the TV show relationships.
The FX, Sound, and Muppet people however… they crushed it. Lots of weight to the action and fun moments with the space mechs.
I feel like it’s a very intentional choice by Anthropic, at this point, to make Claude Code keep saying “This is a big one. Looks like about 3-5 days of all out effort.”
They are trying to demonstrate ROI-Maxing to enterprises.
40% of the way through my Claude Max subscription weekly limits and not even 2 days into the week. #tokensgobrrrr
Mural in Valencia that I believe explains why people are having fewer children.
