It's March. February gone like my confidence to write. Everything is content, yet no one is content. Global affairs are being dominated by that dude from The Apprentice who's in a hurry ticking off bucket list items before he's gone. So, I'll keep this one short. Here's what I've been up to instead of doomscrolling (ok, I did both). We shipped a new site for Rumicat in an attempt to make it a bit more clear how different this is compared to others. All for the gentle art of personal publishing. That's what this is. That's what we're trying to help facilitate; quiet corners of the internet where thoughts can just... breathe. I asked my 8yo 9yo to read what it's all about and shared his first attempt on the socials. Apart from the high conversion this child labour is generating, there's also something beautiful about it. It's perfectly imperfect. A cute little human failing forward. Lovvit! Next to that, I was invited to talk on BNR Radio about Boomerang amongst other topics. Listen here if you're into Dutch tech podcasts, ASMR, or just want to hear my voice. Random, but related, check out this video Johan Kramer made about Ang. Short, yet heartwarming. I'm also excited about launching Foto! Foto! We're testing as we write and it's looking promising to ship something this month. In between all that, we also shipped an experiment called Newwws.ai. The idea was like... what if AI writes something to educate humans about AI, without optimising content for monetisation with clickbait in an attention-driven economy?! In this post-OpenClaw world, your agent can contribute to this newsroom for better coverage. Still early, but... fun. Short enough? Guess so... here are some links for your soul:
Let's start with music. I'm digging this mysterious mix full of rare Soviet jazz by Blagodao. Allow yourself to enjoy melodies of the USSR that tell stories of love, loss, and hope. The kids are watching anime. Obviously Studio Ghibli is here to lead the way with Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, made in the year I was born. (!!!) A year before Golgo 13 was made. But that's not for kids. With Schematik you can prompt what you want to build for Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi. Get code, wiring, and step-by-step tutorials you can follow. Anyone can build hardware now! Delphitools is a collection of small, focused utilities that respect your privacy and work entirely in your browser. Cute! Paper shipped a tool to connect your teams, agents, code, and data on a single design space built on web standards. Not sure if this is any good for the soul, but design used to be... Dinner conversations used to start with "what are you building?" That's over. Now it's "how many agents do you have running?" The flex isn't what you've accomplished anymore. It's what's working while you're sitting here not working. This article struck a chord. Anthropic (makers of Claude) actually have values. I'm such a heavy user, I told the wife I'm compacting our conversation so we can keep chatting... but now I'm the claudezak and sleeping on the couch. If you're into agentic apps, keep an eye on Dreamer. An attempt to own the interface for creating personal software and agents. Still in beta though. Random but fun. Sending links is a love language. With Link Bouquet you can add flowers. If you think you can do this content thing better, let me know. At Nternet Company we're looking for a human to create content about the software we feel responsible for.

I don't know what more to tell you. Take care of each other. Go outside. Call a friend. Hug someone. Het komt goed. Toch? N. |
