- Tasker on my phone listens for Co-Star notifications - they get forwarded to a free Upstash Redis store on my sit - each one overwrites the last one - the board retrieves them each day (they go stale after 24h) - shaking the board reveals the day's horoscope

I've been working on my conference talk for @pushconf.bsky.social one thing that's been really useful, after finishing writing and practicing v1 of the talk, was to take a step back and not think about it for a week.

some of the feedback I'd had was that while the presentation + delivery is clear, the flow or 'storytelling' is a bit disconnected. so looking at a birds eye view of it, like this, chunked out into building blocks, has really helped to plan out what's wrong

"too much water" get in the bin we got a city in the treetops, a city floating on water, a city surrounded by a rock wall only accessible by diving

one of the cool things about @granola.ai is that we have holiday homes - for team retreats that pods can book out and also personal weekends the deal is that each team that goes out gets a small job to do here's me in the Beach House putting up coat hooks with my product manager

do I need the scissor lamp? no can I afford the scissor lamp? also no does the cost of the scissor lamp fall under the @granola.ai personal lamp budget (a genuine real thing)? sadly still no
