I have only somewhat recently discovered the power of AI dictation tools and the ability to dictate lengthy work — like, perhaps, this blog post! — rather than type everything out. There’s significant productivity gains here. But as this article suggests, it’s not all perfectly aligned — there’s something socially awkward about talking to your computer, and there’s something technologically awkward about your voiced words sent to a server over the internet.

Keep this conversation brewing, please. I’m all for new ways and pressures to find more time in my day.

Intriguing app that appears to monitor various inputs — be they messages, calendars, Notion or Slack workspaces — and provides you insight into your daily matters. In many ways, you are likely able to achieve this sort of thing via MCP and other AI tools, but Patina promises a more beautiful and seamless way to do so.

I just received my invite for Patina, so I’ll report back when I’ve tested more.

Something about these presets really caught my eye. Oliur’s work is excellent — YouTube, wallpapers, presets, you name it — and he’s worth supporting. These iPhone presets look at least as good as his viral Palette wallpaper.

I still sit in the traditional camp, in that I think an owner should be allowed to utilize his or her money in a limitless fashion in pursuit of a World Series. If they want. This is the key — if they want. This illustration doesn’t sit well with me, though. In graphical format, the MLB needs a salary cap.

I rented this game so often as a kid. This is likely going to be an instant-buy when it debuts.

I have been head-deep in Claude for the last six weeks or so. Every single aspect of my exploration and discovery with an AI tool is old hat for those leading the charge. But in my Canadian accounting context, this is all new, with few traversed roads to follow. Once you start to think with an AI methodology, you start to see opportunity after opportunity to implement an AI workflow. Articles like these — a “Chief of Staff” agent, if you will — is one of those brainstorming-type articles meant to make your head spin with “What ifs”.

If you’re looking for a whole bunch of new blogs to follow, click through. I’ve found more than a few great reads through Bubbles over the last week or two.

I’ve been playing around with Akiflow for the last week or so. It’s been fun, though there are some complexities. Not as complex as I remember Sunsama to be, but certainly more difficult than your run-of-the-mill GTD app.

I’m unsure if this is a try-hard attempt at copying Airstream, or if it’s a cool thing on its own.
