At dinner last night, I got into a conversation with the kids about pi, phi, and sacred geometry. Which is not where every family dinner goes, but ours wandered there, and I was happy to follow it.

About six months ago I wrote about dropping in hell0github’s statusline and calling it done. That stuck for a while. Then I kept wanting to change small things — the model abbreviation, which sections showed up, what the weekly bar actually counted — and curl-ing a fresh script into ~/.claude/ every time I tweaked something got old fast.

The Cancer Research Institute published Jenney’s patient story on their site. It’s strange seeing our worst year turned into someone else’s summary.

I’ve been building two internal tools at Lullabot lately. OpptyNet finds government RFPs for us. Upstraker tracks upstream patches across our open source contributions. Both needed real UI design, not just “make it work” design. And I found myself doing that design work almost entirely through conversation.
