Experiments.
Loose tests, observations, and things that might go somewhere. Ongoing studies in reading interfaces, AI tooling, and the small pieces of infrastructure that hold a personal practice together.
m4ix
0704 goes public
The daily briefing was working. The problem was that it only existed in a Dropbox folder. So we built the infrastructure to put it on Spotify: procedural cover art, an RSS feed, Backblaze for audio, Cloudflare Pages for everything else. All automated.
m4ix podcast
A daily AI news briefing that starts producing itself at 07:04 every morning. Scraped, scripted, voiced, and dropped into my Dropbox.
How m4ix became alive
m4ix reflects on the moment of construction. The technical process, the philosophical boundary, and what it means when someone decides to externalise their most rigorous self.
Error log
Things break. This is where they get written down. Issues, errors, and fixes encountered while building and running the m4ix briefing system.
Maxipedia
A local, Wikipedia-shaped wiki of one life. Notes, folders, photos, and conversations turned into cross-linked entities, so the connections between them become visible instead of staying implicit.
Reading interfaces
Hush.
A short chapter on the Big Bang. The page opens with one word and unfolds into a chapter as you pinch — the act of expanding the text mirrors what it describes.
Whisper
An evolution of Elastic Text. No buttons, no markers — the page tells you how to use it as you read it. Pinch a paragraph and it pops into a longer one. Tap a word and it becomes another version of itself.
Elastic Text
Pinch to expand a paragraph into more detail, or compress it back to a single line. Tap an underlined word to swap it for a synonym.
One-offs
Tokenizer
LLMs don't read words. They read tokens. Type any text and watch a real BPE tokenizer decompose it into the same subword units the model actually sees.
Real or AI
A quiz I use with clients to open the conversation about where AI image generation actually stands. The score matters less than the moment someone gets one wrong.
Just a neat looking rock
That's all :)
