Notes about how I use voice to build stuff with Claude doing.tools/guides/bette...

We are taking the kids to see Stop Making Sense tonight, so... 😎

Fast voice + Screenshots, now in @doing.tools

Want to use text-to-speech on your mac to talk with apps like Claude Code and Codex? Here's a guide on how to use Apple's built-in voice transcription model on macos 26+ for free: doing.tools/guides/macos...

I built a voice-to-text app for Mac that is very fast, private + local, and isn't a subscription. Designed for those building with AI who want a simple, quality tool that does one thing well. If you give it a try, I'd love to know what you think.

Oh snap, we've got real mock battles now. Woof.

On Tuesday night, you may have noticed something a little different on Bluesky. Here's a peek behind the scenes of how the election feed came together. Endlessly grateful for this collaboration with @wnyc.org/@gothamist.com & @bsky.app!

Is there currently a way to share my track plays to @teal.fm and/or @rocksky.app without running my own scrobbling service?

Made a quick #atproto "agent skill" for claude code that pulls in all the current atproto.com docs and reference implementations so claude can use them to help you build atproto stuff. Check it out: tangled.org/@brianell.in...

Took the kids to their first punk show tonight - turnstile and amyl and the sniffers 🫶

This is what I’m fucking talking about baby PDX forever

went on a bike ride through portland with benson boone and my daughter this afternoon. 100% would recommend

@baileytownsend.dev is it possible to add a blob of an arbitrary file type via AT Toolbox? For example a .gpx file from a garmin device that I've saved to my iphone. I want to attach that as a blob to another record via a shortcut.

Hot off the new OBOB.dog blog, we've released some updates to the app in response to last years feedback. Woof!

Tonight we watched the new Jurassic Park movie, and at the very end after the credits started rolling my 10yo daughter said “and that’s why you don’t eat snickers” 🤯

My 10yr olds review of NEVER ENOUGH: "it sounds the same as GLOW ON - i don't really feel like they've grown"

just arrived in maui / napili bay and we being evacuated to high ground because of the tsunami warning

This is amazing, and again, why open systems, open protocols are so important.

Experimenting with a jetstream to webhook connector for serverless atproto webapps

the status updates feed is filled with wholesome bangers like these

Going for a walk. Here are some lamps I like in the neighborhood park

I feel like you just described the entire protocol with that one sentence.

I just scored 2,972 on a game of at://2048. Think you can do better? Join in on the fun with @2048.blue.

Making cranberry beans in the Rancho Gordo manner. At the “show them who’s the boss” step. #beansky @ranchogordo.bsky.social

Donuts for the #earthday Glencoe Bike Bus today! @glencoebikebus.bsky.social

This is obvious, but if people broadly rely on a black box to give them answers that help them understand the world, whoever controls the black box controls those answers and therefore the understanding that comes from them. Openness is safety.

Added a new `get-post-thread` tool to the Bluesky MCP server which pulls the full conversation tree for a post into the context window for analysis. Great for summarizing long winding conversations. Thanks to @joshuashew.bsky.social for the idea and help! github.com/brianellin/b...

i have 27 feeds pinned on here. that's normal... right?

This was really fun. Thank @peat.org @devingaffney.com @graze.social for organizing!

My dog Rosie has unique facial markings, and I have been trying various AI tools to make accurate drawings of her. Even the fancy new ones seem incapable of replicating her markings, presumably because they haven't seen dogs like her in the training data? Always a white line that goes to both sides.

Hardcore date night

Hey @littleironwaltz.com @cameron.pfiffer.org how are y'all representing bsky posts in all their weird permutations (threads, embeds, quotes, reposts, etc) to the LLM? I've tried a few representations (raw & simplified JSON, YAML, MD) for my MCP bsky server, but feel like I'm re-inventing the wheel?

A few updates to the Bluesky MCP server today: 1) More token efficient post pre-processing (brings more post/embed/conversation detail into the context window), 2) Query feeds by time eg "What's the most unhinged post from my timeline in the last 7 days", 3) Easy install via Smithery.

It is Trillium season

I have no chill/objectivity when it comes to Oregon Battle of the Books. It's a magic program for young readers and I was honored to moderate some battles at regionals in PDX earlier this month. Putting its federal funding in limbo is desperately sad.

Oregon Battle of the Books has deeply enriched my children’s lives. Enough with destroying the things that make us great

Are there any common developer tools/libraries or patterns for rendering #atproto objects? Not AppView sized, but collection or record sized.

imo tools like this that make the reality of the network conspicuous are very important. i'm worried about the pattern of training users to think their data and interactions are private because they aren't easily visible.

the wind in your hair and randomly running into friends around town is priceless ⚡️🚲⚡️

the web will be the biggest @bsky.app client

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4 for Switch 2 will have Nora Vasconcellos and an underwater Spongebob level. So good! It's like they called my daughters and asked what they want for their skate birthday. 🤙

Two things that I enjoy about this experiment: 1) Passive experience - watch a live feed of personalized activity like tv, instead of running on the pull-to-refresh treadmill. 2) Explores the confusing/controversial grey area of likes being actually public but hidden/not available in the app layer.

👋 here's a little @bsky.app experiment that let's you see a realtime stream of activity from all the people you follow: whosky.social

Cool job alert

Great talk from @dholms.xyz - if you are curious about why #atproto works the way it does and where the design inspiration came from, start here

Someone did!

Very excited about this. 🛹🤙🍓
