Good to see Paulie Shore is living large in the OC.

It makes me very proud when one of my scouts achieves the rank of Eagle Scout. Joshua is a polite and pleasant young man and excellent leader who has a very bright future. He also received the President's Service Bronze Award for community service.

I dumped our paper grocery lists and now use the Reminders app on my iPhone. Open Reminders and create a new List (e.g., Trader Joe's) and set the Type to Groceries. Share it with the family. Then anyone can just say, "Hey Siri, add milk to the Trader Joe's list."

A CFO mentioned that he's looking for an AI expert to add to his accounting dept. The implication was that he is planning to replace some staff with someone who can use AI. Workers will certainly lose their jobs to AI. But those who know how to use AI will be in high demand.

QB Clone Part 5 - The bulk of the app is complete in just over two days, maybe 8-10 hours. It looks good and I'm testing it with some dummy data I ask Claude to create. I'm not adding more detailed features like Classes, Splitting Transactions, etc.

Claude Code completed the Chart of Account and Company pieces and is now building out the Contacts. Phase 1 has 10 subphases. This may take while.

Quickbooks Clone app update - In about 90 minutes, Claude Code built a mockup of the website. Looks nice and I like the minimalist aesthetic. This may be an ambitious project considering I'm not an accountant but I have 30 years experience running a business.

I'm spending about $2300/year on a Quickbooks subscription so I wondered if I can use Claude Code to make a QB/Xero clone, but better. I told Claude what features I wanted and it developed a roadmap. Let's see where this takes me.

France just held plasma hotter than the sun's core for 22 minutes. The UK just hit new magnet records to contain fusion reactions. Power generation via fusion isn't "30 years away" anymore. popularmechanics.com/science…

People are asking AI (e.g., Grok) to remove the ski mask of the Guthrie abduction suspect. That's not at all how AI works. AI cannot see through clothing, walls or inside objects. It will always generate a "guess" and never tell you that it doesn't know.
