If you are following the Album feed from this website, you might have noticed a little chaos lately. I have been running all the old albums through Claude Cowork having it find and update any missing genres and record labels. It is doing it in batches and it is actually getting things in order. That's the good news.

The "bad" news is the updated albums are showing up in the RSS feed which is a little annoying. Sorry about that. It should be back to normal soon I promise. I think it is about 65-75% finished with the process. After that we'll be caught up and there will only be a couple albums in the feed daily like normal.

How's your blog going? Send me a link if you have one.

There are two computers on my desk. Computer #01, MacBook Pro, has Tahoe 26 running on it with Claude Cowork that I have been using for four months. Computer #02, Macbook Neo, has the Golden Gate 27 beta running on it so it has the new Siri AI.

Both are fun but they are drastically different. I have a system that I have been slowly building in Cowork living in a folder with markdown files. I need to slowly move this system over to Siri AI. Not knocking Cowork but Siri AI works locally so it is s.｡oO much faster doing a lot of things. There is also a ton of things Siri AI can't do yet.

A "house move" like this is a perfect time to do an audit of what I actually need any more. So I am going through the skills I have set up and my contexts to see what I actually need to get done. What needs automation? What can be an Apple Shortcut? What should I actually be doing that I was having Cowork do?

Just have a deep think and have fun building a plan. Try to get it all feeling like I am holding the rudder of the boat careening down the river as opposed to feeling like the boat.

An example of one area I am struggling with that I want to get sorted in System 2.0 are things like Weekly Reviews. I want to wake up on Friday, start my day, get asked the questions to answer to assess where things are, and have it process where I am at. I need it to happen so that it doesn't feel like a task though. Same with monthly, quarterly and yearly. How to answer the life audit questions that need to be answered on schedule but have it be kinda fun and magical?

The fun of moving.
