There’s a new star in the kittyverse, Wordle Kitty. I let her do my Wordle-play. Today, she was feeling a little under the weather so Wordle Kitty checked into the town urgent care center where they gave her some medicine which gave her the strength for a “splendid” performance at the days Wordle puzzle. So while she’s feeling a bit ill under it all is a feeling of splendor and the usual over the top cuteness! :-)

Does personal AI require Big Compute?

date: 2024-06-23, from: Doc Searls (at Harvard), New Old Blog

This year my brother’s aluminum skiff had a stowaway. A mouse had clung tight to its perch in the bow eye during the trip from the boat’s winter berth in the front yard to the town landing, bouncing on a trailer. It continued to hold on as my brother and nephew launched the skiff and crossed the choppy harbor to a mooring.
