What I'm up to - November 2025
Here is my monthly newsletter about what I'm up to, which I send in place of social media.
What I did in October
- Published MCP and the future of AI, Introducing Workshop, Maintenance, Backup Plans, and GitHub Syncing.
- Updated my blogroll.
- Chroma launchedsparse vector support, which is a big milestone
Things to share
- Articles: Chase McCoy is also building a Mac Mini data center (here's mine). Inside Cursor is fun read, emphasizing the rise of the individual contributor in tech. The Promise of the Bronx River Parkway is an interesting example of technological determinism.
- Podcasts: Been enjoying Articles of Interest which shares stories of our clothing.
- Music: Rosalía's new album Lux is great - I think she's one of the most talented living musicians. Paloma Morphy is a fun indie artist from CDMX.
- Books: Noma announced a new book, coming out in April.
- Software: Been enjoying Ghostty as a terminal with the Berkeley Mono font. system.css is a fun retro Apple-style framework - I'll have to incorporate it into a future project.
- Videos: I got sucked into Sub Brief on YouTube, learning about the intricacies of American versus Soviet submarine hull design.
- Cooking: This Gochujang Buttered Noodles recipe from NYT is great.
Plans for November
