§ Spring break update: one week down, one to go.
After almost a year of slow, puttering progress, I have finally made significant headway on my greenhouse project. The foundation in place, the primary window bay is complete, and the framing for two of the walls is finished. By the end of next week, my goal is to finish the remaining framing and the roof.
§ The team behind Rewind.ai (remember “lifestreams?”) has announced a new product called ChatGPT For Me. It is almost exactly what I would like to see Siri evolve into. Here is the issue: this announcement has made it clear to me that I wouldn’t trust any third-party company with such a privacy sensitive feature. Needless to say, I didn’t sign up for their waitlist. Nonetheless, I hope Apple is watching them closely and will eventually either Sherlock or acquire them.

§ Recipes
- Fish tacos
- Extremely good. Honestly, much better than the fried fish I made last week.
- Chicken adobo
- I didn’t anticipate how sticky the sauce would be which made everything a big chore to clean afterwards. It was really delicious, though.
- Chicken tikka masala
- This turned out to be much heavier and more filling than my other tikka masala recipe. They almost don’t share any ingredients in common, though, so I don’t know how fair it is to try to compare them.
- Roasted potatoes
- I had been meaning to make this for a while. It was quite good — was it worth all of the extra effort, though? Probably not.
- Lemon garlic pasta
- I had this alongside a very similar oyster mushroom dish. The mushrooms were great, the pasta was fine.
