Music
The Florida boys are back with another banger. The breakdowns & the hook in this one have been stuck in my head since Friday’s release date.
What can I say? It’s f**king Beartooth! This is another one that I just can’t shake out of my head. Beartooth always brings the riffs and this is no exception. Highly recommend, and am so excited for the album.
Tech
Hermes Agent
ICYMI, I’ve been messing around with the Hermes agent lately and it’s definitely changing the way I work. You can read up on how I’m using it in this article that I posted earlier this week.
Macbook Neo
I’ve been using this little machine for over a month, and it continues to surprise me. I continue to push this thing as hard as I can and it still manages to keep up. The UX isn’t quite as smooth as a Macbook Pro when under heavy load, but it is a more than capable machine for most major tasks. And at that pricepoint (even with the apple price hikes), it’s hard to argue with.
I find myself taking this machine with me when on the go as opposed to my M2 MBP, and it’s been an absolute joy to work on. I opted for the Indigo Blue color
Coffee
It’s just expensive cardboard….
Anyone play nerdy card games? If you didn’t know, I’m an avid MTG player and most recently getting into Riftbound. If you play, leave a comment (or reply if you got this via email)
Stay Creative. Stay Caffeinated.
