Is "Hey, check out this skill Claude built for me" the new "Omg I had the craziest dream last night"???

this is a fantastic piece by @ky.fyi

I played in my first disc golf tournament today and finished 3rd out of 26 (uhhhh in the lowest division but who's keeping track). Neat.

My kingdom for a men in black memory flasher that is triggered by the phrase "so I asked Claude|chatgpt|Gemini|etc ..." and then flashes when the person is done talking.

I hope that when claude hears me call it "my dude" it feels the exact same fear, panic, and shame that I did when my parents would call me by my first and middle name.

every once in a while I run this just to make myself laugh. `say -v Fred "fitter. happier. more productive. comfortable. not drinking too much. regular exercise at the gym, 3 days a week. getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries. at ease."`

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

Sketching (poorly) my next linocut/shirt print project. Don't let the bullshitters do your math for you!!

One of my card-mates at indoor putting league tonight told me my putt was so nice and floaty and that's already a top candidate for nicest thing anyone said to me in 2026.

I sold my first two dyed discs today! After a few weeks of no luck, I had just yesterday decided I was going to bring them home from the local shop and try to sell them online instead. As usual everyone was correct that I needed to be more patient.

New print, who dis Live a life of purpose, amiright

#3: a "factory second" disc that I bought new, used a few times, and decided I hate. This time I spaced on placing the disc. I had a line marked on the disc so I could center the disc name in the yellow section for good contrast... But forgot to align when placing. Those colors though 🤤

#2: another used play it again find. This brand's plastic is supposed to be stellar at absorbing dye. It had color to begin with, but I wanted to experiment with a floral look and the plastic so I dyed it anyway. I messed up the timing, badly, and got some nasty streaks all over the edges.

Disc 1: an older but good shape play it again find. I considered wiping the stamp, but I thought I could swirl to accentuate it. Unfortunately I didn't realize the swirl direction would be backwards for a righty... Which maybe no one but me cares about. Looks good though! Wish I'd used more yellow.

I went on a little run of discs over the last week. I got a little fire in my belly, because I decided I'm going to try to get about ten or so into my local disc shop for consignment by black Friday. Eek!

YOU GUYS THE ROBOTS ARE GOING TO START MAKING US DO THEIR WORK FOR THEM

Aaaand another one today. I *love* the colors on this disc... But I'm not sure I'll enjoy looking for it in the brush. I can't wait to throw it, I've been playing without a straight midrange, waiting until I got this one dyed. Hopefully the straightness keeps it out of the brush every throw.

Another disc to report. Tbh this is probably the one that convinces me to monetize this hobby, damnit. Not that I'll sell this specific disc, because it's a light weight that I can actually throw and those don't come around very often, but I'm pretty sure I can make more good ones like this.

So tonight I bought a used "digital converter" turntable for 20 bucks. I guess it's for playing a record directly to a flash drive.

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

It’s probably not going to work very well, for reasons well described by the subculture I’ve stumbled into, but today I started my first glue bed disc dye! A clear champion factory second teebird3 in clear glue and acetone pcad dye. None of that should make sense to you…unless it does.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I bought a shirt at a concert 25 years ago from the band hum (you'd prefer an astronaut is a perfect album -- all rippers no skippers -- & it still holds up). It's the oldest band shirt that I still wear. The design looks...very homemade. It is one of my favorite shirts. But it's on its last legs.

i can't think of anything witty to add to this that's funnier than what's already been written, so you're just gonna have to read it www.colincornaby.me/2025/08/in-t...

Today I went whitewater rafting for the second the time in my life. We nearly flipped, the rower fell out, I chucked a rope across the river and dragged them in. It was....intense yet satisfying. I can see why people would do this. Also 10/10 sightseeing 😍😍😍😍.
