I build with many tools including Grok. Space and tech from Cape Town. Die-hard Boks fan, plus digital art. If any of that’s your thing, stick around.

Back in August a ship called FORTE was taking Starship S40 home to Texas, and its route went right past Cape Town. There was no way I was going to let a rocket float on by my city without trying to see it. So I built an app with Grok Build to track it 🧵
I built an app using Grok build to track the ship bringing S40 back to Texas (fortetracker.grok.me) and then used another app built using Grok build (facet-x.grok.me) to generate these slides so you could notice it.
Grok build is making a huge impact.
Most small business sites I get asked to fix have the same 3 problems:
1. No price, not even a "from" price
2. WhatsApp button buried in the footer
3. A hero video that takes 8 seconds on mobile data
Fix those before you pay for a redesign.
Stormers 52-40 Scarlets, Sharks 36-21 in Cardiff, Bulls 34-26 Ulster after nearly giving away a 21-0 lead. All three SA sides on 3-1 in the URC.
Not pretty defence at the DHL, but you take eight tries. Sharks in Limerick next is the real test.
How I actually use AI for client mood boards:
1. Lock palette and camera first.
2. Generate too many heroes on purpose.
3. Cross out anything that feels like "AI travel".
4. Rebuild the real layout in WordPress by hand.
The model is the sketchbook. Judgement still ships the site. (Fictional lodge, not a client.)

War hounds come in all shapes and sizes.
JUST IN: Palmer Luckey's genetically modified military dog startup, Warhound, comes out of stealth, aiming to create enhanced canines for the U.S. military.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is NOT Palmer's company at all, his company Anduril is only supplying the tech for the dogs, and this is a wholly owed Collosal entiity

For the Grok it nerds - I’ve noticed this shape has disappeared from the library of shapes after one of the updates, all my bots that use it are keeping it, it’s kind of a collectors thing now.
Do you still any bots using this rare shape?
You complete me! Seriously you do…
Comment on this post or the one that was quoted to help build MyCorpus.
Beautifully gruesome at the moment but as more people interact the more it builds me up.
Will you help complete me?

Let’s see how quickly South African politicians decide he’s a good guy all of a sudden if it means they get to have free money.
