190 years ago today, Texians declared independence because an authoritarian leader ignored the constitution and concentrated power in the nation's capital. Texans — Anglo and Tejano alike — said no. Happy Independence Day, y'all!

Current status: more open AI agents than I have pixels to display them on. Might need to start stacking monitors like it's 2008 and I'm day trading. Womp womp.

Haven't finished my first ☕️ on Saturday morning, and used new secret (not yet public) powers of telex.automattic.ai to completely redesign ronnieburt.com and build a block to showcase talks and podcasts. Not bad. Not bad.
