The Web wasn't built for AI Agents A parallel web is taking shape for AI agents, with its own ways of discovering content, reading it, interacting with it, and paying for it. Most companies aren't ready.

The web is moving from pages humans navigate to systems agents operate, and the winners will expose structured capabilities instead of just UI.

Adding WebMCP tools to speek.dev I added five WebMCP tools across speek.dev that let AI agents search my coffee collection, browse my gear, and like blog posts. Here's how it works and why it matters for agentic browsing.

I added WebMCP tools to my site so AI agents can search my espressos, browse my gear, and like blog posts. Wrote about how it works and why it matters for agentic browsing.

Building an AI Gateway on Fastly Compute | Fastly Route multi-provider LLM requests at the edge. Build a low-latency, policy-driven AI Gateway on Fastly Compute for fast, cost-efficient AI apps.

Wrote up how I built an AI gateway on @fastly.com Compute. One endpoint, any model, routing decisions made at the edge. Bring your own keys and provider relationships. The gateway handles where each request goes, failover, and policy.

Wanting to try the new video feature. I’m a creature of habit, so I’ll likely go back at some point 🙂

I wanted to give Apple Podcasts a shot after several years on Overcast.

Archiving my day with a single photo I plan my day on paper using Ugmonk’s Analog. At the end of the day, a Shortcut turns a photo of that card into a searchable, portable daily log in Bear, no retyping, no second system.

I wanted a way to easily digitally archive my Analog cards and ended up building another Apple Shortcut 😅

Automatically switch your audio input Automatically switch your macOS audio input based on active apps using Shortcuts, Shortery, and a small shell script, no manual mic juggling required.

Realized Zoom’s mic setting doesn’t update macOS system audio, which messes with tools listening alongside Zoom. Wrote a lil Apple Shortcut and triggering it with Shortery (A new-found fave).

Also, fuck ICE.

Lack of markdown composition support in Apple Notes

I almost forgot Pandora was still around, honestly

More of this format, please 🙏

Truer words have never been spoken.

Akin to Linear - I’m almost looking for an excuse to use them for something.

I’m not using Railway for anything right now and still enjoy them

today is my 40th birthday. to toot my own horn a bit, I'm the happiest, healthiest, and most successful I've ever been, so I'm going to indulge myself and do one of those "40 things that made me who I am" threads

so buckle up (or mute me for the next little bit 😆)

One of my kids did that with their Yoto player 😬

I really want a, “Where are they now: My Super Sweet 16”

Launching my app today ⚡️

Would absolutely appreciate an upvote 🙏

The DRM thing requires a lot of money, apparently. But yeah, small team and essentially one guy having to deal with an onslaught of requests from all the disaffected Arc fans

If I remember right, it was actually that my Yubikey wouldn’t work, not just limited to Okta/Duo.

I did quite a bit. I haven’t checked Orion’s desktop app yet, but a couple of no-gos for me were that I couldn’t watch any DRM content (Netflix, etc.) and Okta didn’t work right. Not to mention the constant changes with how profiles worked. It got so confusing.

Arc Browser I’m kind of a browser connoisseur. Arc is about to win me over.

I’d never tried**

To give a sense of what I’d liked about Arc: speek.dev/blog/arc

Finally giving @kagi.com a go, both for the Orion browser and search. The browser has come a long way and the search (which is never tried) looks excellent.

I’ll do a write up soon, but I’m already happy with my main mobile test:
1. ad blocking
2. YouTube background play
