Proof of work
My most recent painting
My website rebuild.
It’s ArtSplash drop off day.. it’s the largest non-juried art show on the west coast. I have a couple of paintings to submit this year.
My AI assistant has been a real help this past week. I managed to get a lot done in the studio amd it’s doing a decent job of nudging me toward better productivity
I’m optimistic about a lot of things ; bitcoin , Nostr, ai, my career and fam
I’m thankful. Hope you have happy and productive day too.

Today I made some strategic moves
I killed my account with SiteGround after a couple of decades of hosting websites with them.
I switched to a free cloudflare account, and moved my email to a free zoho account.
I redirected, then moved my domain after setting it all up
That's $200+ USD / year in savings
My bot walked me thru it 🦞
We're working on a rebranded site from scratch now

I was gifted this amazing rattle carved by the late Terry Jackson.
I’m just can’t believe how nice it is.
It sounds great, it looks amazing
The design really struck me as an accomplishment The curve of the bear’s back fits into the palm of your hand while your fingers wrap around the bear. I’ve never seen a rattle in this configuration, but that’s the thing ; Terry’s work was interesting and innovative by nature. He intermingled style elements rather than blending them. His work was a tribute to the artists he worked with not by emulating their work but by applying he’d learned.
It was always a pleasure to stop in on him, he always had a bunch of amazing things on the go.
Special thanks to Bob & Deb.

Was just thinking back on this moment.
This a good friend, Nick Sherman playing a song of his on a borrowed guitar, down on Whiskey Dock, waiting for a ride.
We had one hell of a visit, he played a bunch of gigs including an impromptu concert in my gallery with Myles Morrison backing him up. We went to a punk show, stayed out till the sun came up. It's a moment I really appreciate for how cool it was.
Sometimes the simplest things are the best.
No production just me and my phone

Anthropic publicly accused Moonshot, DeepSeek and MiniMax of “industrial scale fraud”
Yes, they were using Claude to train their own models, but they paid to use it - I mean, this is basically the 'recursive self improvement' loop that devs predicted will precede the singularity 😛
Slap in the face for Anthropic after their response to Openclaw sent it's developer into the open arms of OpenAi

I think the agentic ai that Openclaw has unleashed is a good thing.
It feels like a win for open source independent devs who just dunked on the mega corp ai.
I’ve been thinking about why this is so appealing to me.
It’s AGENCY!
Like when you got your first computer or cellphone to use for YOUR own purposes. This ai lobster bot is for your own use.
It’s the intelligence promised of future robots for early adopters .
When the Mac came out it was the first PC. It couldn’t do what a big mainframe could but it was yours and it did what you could get it to.
I’m buying a computer for my own ai.

I blocked my first user on Nostr this morning.
I hit me unexpectedly because everyone has been very genuine. I haven’t seen any of the trolling and negativity I see elsewhere. It’s been wonderful.
So now I’m wondering Are people on Nostr getting creepy DMs and inappropriate comments here too?
I thankfully have not.
The objectionable post I saw this morning was meant to precipitate a strong reaction.
I felt provoked but chose not to engage.
It only took me a moment to find the block button.
I realized in that moment that we need to be careful and measured in our response to these problems.
