We put a Phyn Plus in our home and I had to celebrate getting to do a firmware update. The unit is now inline and it is super interesting to see the data on water consumption. I’m really curious to see what this shows over time. Plus a solid discount on homeowners insurance for having it. 💧

I’ve been a bit obsessed thinking about AI agents and this definition shared by Willison from Anthropic’s Hannah Moran works for me. "Agents are models using tools in a loop." Perfect. I might add “and have a memory” to that too, but that isn’t required.

Dave Winer today… "Where AI fits in The Beatles Personal computers The web Napster AI It is interesting and I’ve made similar comparisons lately myself. It matters who your audience and point is for such a list. For technologists I keep saying it is like… GUI Internet Cloud Mobile I think of those because they changed nearly everything about how technologists do their craft.

Robin decided that a nest would be great on top of our irrigation controller. Hmm… trying to leave this be until the eggs hatch. 😬 image

It was awesome to see @davoh for a delicious coffee at Five Watt today! The conversation covered much ground and could have continued on if not for a lack of time. 🤝 image

Manu recently added an RSS feed of new sites to Blogroll. I popped it into Feedbin to discover new blogs. I explored a few and was delighted at the diversity of sites these bloggers have. If there is an opposite of scrolling an algorithmic feed it is this. Let’s bring surfing the web back. 🏄
