I just returned from a trip to the Denver/Golden area. I stayed with my former podcast co-host Evan at his pretty rad new house in Golden near North Table. This post briefly summarizes the coffee on my trip, along with some recommendations and thoughts. I’m obsessed with Coffee, so I visited several different coffee places while I was in the area. We also visited several different places throughout the trip. ...
This week, we introduced Gluino to the world. My friend Sean and I have been working on this project for a bit. It’s officially a company, and we are officially making things happen. In this post, I want to introduce you to the product and company and explain why I’m so excited. Maybe, at the end, I’ll even explain the name. The Product Gluino is an AI product, like so many other technologies that are being released right now. It uses LLM technology to answer text-based questions. There are a lot of products out there doing this, but Gluino is different. Our goal is to provide better results for your questions than the other products by giving enhanced context to the LLM. ...
In coaching cheerleading, I like to say that potential at the beginning of the year is a great thing, but potential at the end of the year is not. Potential is a dangerous word, but society sees it as a positive. This post is about how dangerous that is and why using this word can have unintended consequences.

(As if I needed a clue that I have ADHD, I’ve already put the book aside to write this blog post.) She talks about how people kept on telling her she had so much potential. ...
I’ve been working in a tailwind environment for a couple of weeks on this Clojure project. I have some more opinions about it, and I figured I’d share. Firstly, Tailwind is pretty powerful. One of the reasons we are using it is because of its plugins like DaisyUI, which should allow us to theme our app more easily. Looking at the documentation, there are classes for everything you need to style your front end. The challenge is that it is not always clear how to go from a known CSS property to a Tailwind style. I find myself constantly referring to the documentation. ...
I’m working on a new project and am motivated. We have carved out some aggressive goals, so I’m spending time writing software and learning more about Clojure. I even got to file a bug on Calva and work with Pez on it. So, on to the subject of this post, tailwindcss. This is a framework for generating CSS in your HTML by using utility classes. These classes you put directly on your HTML elements affect how they appear. The benefit is that you don’t need to jump between content and styling. The styling happens based on the classes you put on elements. ...
