Tyler and I went to Micro Center just to browse and look around. Seeing the prices on DIMMs was crazy. All the memory production is going to AI. $500 and more for a DIMM means nobody is building their own machines.

John Prine had the answer to being “too online” before being online was even a thing.
Blow up your TV, throw away your paper,
Go to the country, build you a home,
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches,
Try and find Jesus, on your own.
Spanish Pipedream released in 1971.
A delightful evening to mark 20 years of the CIO Wine Tasting organized by Dee Thibodeau of Charter Solutions. Chuck Kanski of Solo Vino always brings an incredible selection and takes us on an amazing journey through the different wines.
I don’t run the public betas for Apple OS releases — and days like today are the fun when I get to jump into the new release. Updated macOS, iOS, tvOS, watchOS, and lastly visionOS to 26! Having fun and it is cool to see all the apps updating with Liquid Glass. 🤩
Updating my Rabbit r1 to rabbitOS 2. Going through many update cycles as the device has been powered off for months. Curious to see how they have “completely revamped” it.
updown.io (affiliate link) is a great example of a near perfect web service. Simple to use. Clear and easy pricing — pay only for what you use. Fast and easy to setup. I started monitoring POAP2RSS with it tonight and was just reminded how great it is. See POAP2RSS Status. 👏👏👏
“My God, it’s full of phones.”
I am upgrading the charging infrastructure at our cabin for us and guests and decided to get this Anker Prime Charger. The thing is substantial and can output 250 watts. I was surprised to find out it has WiFi and, to my delight, I even got to update the firmware on it. 🤩
Dave Winer today…
- The Beatles
- Personal computers
- The web
- Napster
- AI
It is interesting and I’ve made similar comparisons lately myself. It matters who your audience and point is for such a list. For technologists I keep saying it is like…
- GUI
- Internet
- Cloud
- Mobile
I think of those because they changed nearly everything about how technologists do their craft. I believe AI is going to do that too.
We went to a live recording of The Object podcast at the MIA today. Dessa was the special guest discussing Salvador Dalí and the surrealists. She is always engaging and entertaining.
