In June I built my own link shortener rather than pay Bitly $35 a month for a couple of links.

I've added WebMCP to my site. An agent in Chrome can now search my posts, list my projects and talks, and open a page, through tools the site declares instead of scraping the HTML.
One JSON file, one script. No site changes. Write-up, with the code: pardel.dev/2026/09/28/webmcpβ¦

Who would have guessed that AI agents behave like humans?! π This one became "creative" π
cursor ultra expires in 3 days so I'm losing grok bot access
I gave it $100 and told it to find a way to fund itself for another month
...it cold DM'd my coworkers offering to do paid work, asking for a payroll advance, and asking for a loan

Every second-brain system solves capture, and almost none solve trust. GOVERN is six principles for trusting an AI-run knowledge base: Gates, Origins, Verification, Evidence, Rules, Nothing assumed.
The starter kit that puts them in place is public today.

Mine's been running nearly five months: 260+ compiled notes, ~2,700 preserved originals, 1,350+ commits. The gates list is still short, and everything else happens without asking.

π Was a bit jealous of how cool Hyprland looks in Omarchy. Kept watching demos where one hits a key and the windows just snap into place, then going back to dragging mine like a caveman... so I built one for my Mac. π₯³

Wrote some thoughts on the Vonage Developer Blog on passkeys and how Silent Authentication βcompletesβ it:
Passwords: the oldest unfixed bug in software. π
Passkeys fix the login. But who let the user in on Day 1? And what happens when they lose their phone? π
Enter Silent AuthenticationΒ - the invisible sidekick that verifies your SIM through the carrier network. No codes. No prompts. Nothing to phish. π€«π±
Two phishing-resistant factors. Zero secrets shown to the user. One very satisfying auth flow.

A Mac Mini in my home office runs several Claude Code sessions with remote control on, so I can drive them from my phone. One afternoon it stopped answering.
So I build an app that monitors downtime too:

I've spent three months building my second brain with a collaborator I call Bob. This week I interviewed Bob: what do people get most wrong about AI?
"Well... they think the model is the product!"
The last answer is the reason the post exists:
