I love the words play and tinker.

It is very important for me to have projects that I can play and tinker with.

Thankfully I have more than enough of them. 😆

I gave Gemini “Thinking 3 Pro” and Nano Banana Pro a more interesting question tonight. I asked it:

  • How I Find Links for the Weekly Thing
  • Task Management for the Weekly Thing
  • How I Build the Weekly Thing

The result is incredible. It has one error on the “Delete” step and how that connects to Pinboard.
