Visiting wineries this weekend, Jarvis first and as always it was an incredible visit.

What is a good way to shunt a to events based on a pattern to an sqs queue? SQS connector doesn’t support wildcards

Here comes round two! #stlwx

Look at my daughter’s amazing art work!

I tried to book Pokemon Cafe in Tokyo and now I am up at 5am writing an AI Agent to book it for me.

I bet if @louisvuitton.bsky.social put a bourbon bar in their shops their sales would go up 500% and that’s not including the bourbon sales! I’m sitting in a shop now and every guy in here with his SO looks miserable! 🤣

My home Facebook page is a constant source of entertainment. This morning there is an essay length post from a women crying at the verbal assault her husband received wearing a “Buck Fiden” shirt to Dollar General. She laments at how divided people are today and cries that we all cannot get along. 🤣

Always feels good when I complete the airline booking for a coming vacation. It’s crossing the Rubicon so to speak

Spent the day playing with document ai and… I am not impressed

A few Palestinian YouTube channels have stopped because they were killed. These were kids. They sang songs & loved birds, and showed us the ocean. I'll never forget Medo, a young man growing a garden in the midst of a genocide. Israel killed him; he showed the world that Palestinians are human.

Today’s food for thought: the importance of adding budget awareness to agents

OH "Just start coding, we'll figure out what we're going to build later" :-)
