I just learned that you can register a Shortcut in Unread to create your own actions for feed items. This is huge for my workflows! 🤯🥳
Ringing Nasdaq Closing Bell!
We were in New York today to ring the closing bell for the Nasdaq! This is a really incredible experience and I’ve been able to do it three times now with SPS! We rang the opening bell in 2014 which was the prelude to our very first analyst day as a public company.
We rang the closing bell in 2023. That one was actually supposed to happen in 2020 when we celebrated 10 years as a public company but due to the pandemic that didn’t happen. So in 2023 we marked the end of an era as Archie Black, our CEO was retiring. That was a particularly special event and evening with spouses along as well.
This third visit was to celebrate hitting 100 Quarters of Growth — 25 years of consistent top-line growth every single quarter. It is an incredible accomplishment that few companies have achieved. I’m proud to be able to say I was there for over half of those 100 quarters. This time we had 100 customers join us at the event for a nice reception before and after the ceremony. It was incredible!
Delicious coffee this morning at Blue Bottle Bryant Park. Not going to score top presentation points, but the taste is as good as always.
I can certainly do a lot with OpenClaw, but when you turn around and realize you used $30 of LLM tokens in a single day it gives you pause. 😬💸
Wonderful evening photo walk around Manhattan tonight.






Times Square!
Just asked Claude to test mb for an extended run:
Okay. I’m going to go on a walk for about an hour. This whole project is still pretty new. Can you exercise it extensively using the test blog permissions you have now and give it a thorough work through various features. Fix anything that comes up and we’ll check in when I’m back.
My last two flights I’ve spent the entire time working with coding agents on projects. The time just flies by! Don’t even need headphones.
If your reading my blog you should really consider reading my daughter’s blog too. @mthingelstad has gotten the blogger vibes and is sharing amazing stories on her semester abroad. I think you’ll like reading her posts even though you aren’t her dad! 🤩
We watched Family Plan 2 tonight. Not going to win any Academy Awards, but an enjoyable movie.
Feb 28 and 20 °F in Minnesota — let’s play soccer! Go United! Home opener. ⚽️



It is time to officially celebrate Pokémon Day. Rip ‘em!
I got my first shingles vaccine tonight and am hoping I’m not one of the unlucky ones that gets sick from it. 💉
It is bonkers to me that I just built a project that I’ve been curious about while laying in bed, entirely on my iPhone, with Claude Code. See Flight Path, extending the POAP Airport Rally. Now to sleep… 🛌
Starting a Claude Code task before I begin my morning meditation… will grab the pull request when done? Not sure I’m doing this right. 🤦♂️
I’ve been working on this new site, Escaping Things, that is the full index of all of our escape room history. It is one of my automatic programming projects. I’ve had Codex and Claude Code engaged on it. I just moved the data backend to Airtable too. Check it out! 🧩
