Working with Otto this morning to create a new version of my mb utility that will extend features and provide an MCP interface for agents to interact with micro.blog.

We went to BRKTHROUGH tonight and tried out their various games. We’ve been to Activate many times. BRKTHROUGH seems like a good place for a larger group and adds food and beer options. We found Activate’s games better though.

My newest MCP experiment was to add it in WT Builder and then Claude was able to watch me creating content in near real-time through tool calls and give me immediate feedback on typos and grammar suggestions.

Today is that sad day when I take the boat in to be put in storage for the winter. Until next summer Magic Waves!

Watt Window was my other demo highlight from Minnedemo. Combination of hardware and software to monitor industrial motors and increase efficiency. This is a real-world use case for how you can lower the carbon footprint of a plant. And, reliably predict equipment failures! Impressive!

Beastbox was an amazing demo at Minnedemo. The engineering required to do signal detection in about 10ms to keep the time from beatboxing with your mouth to the audio being triggered is impressive.

It was great to connect with the Twin Cities tech community tonight at Minnedemo! The Ordway was a beautiful venue for this one. Save the date for Minnebar 21 on May 1, 2027!

Oh no — I’ve used all my tokens! 😬 And I did successfully complete my mission to use the $250 of cloud credits.

Usage panel: context window at 198.3k of 300k, a full red bar for weekly all-models limit, and $18.27 of $50 credits used.

We got the very last of the available Pokémon 30th Celebration at the Edina Target today — and got our picture with Pikachu!
