I'm currently seeking a handful of beta testers for a new job finder tool I'm developing that's specifically aimed at folks in media/journalism/editorial/comms/etc. Please DM me if that sounds interesting to you!

Me after someone I know just landed a gigantic interview with a huge company after using my upcoming job finder tool thing

Preview of today's MATCHDAY INFERENCE, the world's first and only (I think) AI-crafted matchday program for the FIFA World Cup, emailed directly to your inbox. No two INFERENCES are the same. Pretty cool if I do say so myself. Link below!

I woke up with a fever... World Cup Fever

Coming soon (like, maybe as soon as today): my latest AI+journalism project, all about the World Cup 👀

How do you like that: My AI Job Finder tool just got someone an interview with a VERY prominent media company in NYC. Obviously I can't guarantee they get the job (I can't even guarantee interviews tbh) but I'll take that as a signal that I should keep building it!

Sriously considering watching the glory period of WCW PPV (1996-1998?). I only caught bits and pieces back in the day because I was a WWF partisan. I actually only watched WCW live after Vince Russo took over in late 1999. Yes, that was painful to type haha. @jeffgerstmann.com @danryckert.com

Getting into the WWF No Mercy (N64) mod scene! I had no idea this stuff existed haha. Credit to @contricode.bsky.social whose Ultimate N64 Guide Book I just bought for getting me way back into N64 this past week!

The 2080 Super I had been using in my HTPC in the living room has died! F's in the chat. So, I just ordered a PowerColor 9060XT per @mylifeingaming.bsky.social's recent Bazzite video. I only use this PC for emulation, older pre-2020 games, and recompilation projects, & so I can play in 5.1.

I LOVE that someone asked Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer what their favorite word processor is. Shout out to the guy who asked that question! #wrestlemania

Tempted to spend $400 on a PowerBook G4 so I can run a very specific version of Microsoft Word. That is A LOT of money to spend on a dumb project, is my only hesitation.

Man, Marc 'Try4ce' Duddleson took some amazing shots on his visit using a film camera. The results are surreal.

I built a full baseball simulation where Claude manages all 30 MLB teams. Real player stats. Real rosters. 30 AI manager personalities based on the actual 2026 skippers. AI writes the game recaps, conducts the press conferences, and generates audio podcasts in a clone of my voice. It cost $50.

Launching a very cool project today! Fans of baseball should get a kick out of it!

Launching my most ambitious project yet tomorrow. I consider it a digital art installation. It would have been a million times easier if I didn't get Covid and nearly break my toe a few weeks ago but whatever!
