There are very few things that have higher nostalgic value than the memory of The Print Shop (Broderbund, 1984). If you had a dot-matrix printer in the 80s, chances are you used this incredible publishing program. It allowed users to easily create signs, greeting cards, banners, posters, and letterheads using its built-in clip art, fonts, and templates. And if you were the curious type, I’m sure you printed an entire page in black just to see what would happen. In case you never did, let me tell you: it was both a nerve-wracking sound and a totally drenched, soggy piece of paper in the end. (Totally worth it!) Originally launched for the Apple II and later ported to the Commodore 64, IBM PC, and other platforms, it worked with any common dot-matrix printer. Its simple interface meant even 9-year-old me could figure it out. I made covers for virtually anything, from my father's toolbox to my mother's kitchen drawers. It sold over a million copies, and became one of the most popular titles of the era.

I built a tiny tool called ctx that fixes the problem of all your tmux sessions looking the same. One script that auto-assigns each session a distinct color on the status bar and pane borders — hashed from the session name so it's stable across restarts. github.com/ztaylor/claude…

Shouts to @devinfoley for the inspiration.

Expo Autopilot: go from PRD to React Native app to TestFlight with one Claude Code session. Feed it a spec and the reference docs — it codes the app, handles credentials, runs EAS builds, and submits to TestFlight. Fully automated after a one-time setup. github.com/ztaylor/claude…

Payphones are strangely still licensed in California, so I filed a FOIA request and got the full list. Naturally I made a game you can now play:

@ztaylor What about using Resilio Sync cli? resilio.com/documentation/…

I tried a couple of ways to set up Obsidian with Openclaw on a headless VPS. Obsidian Sync requires the desktop app - no GUI, no sync. The fix: linuxserver/obsidian — a Docker image that runs Obsidian with a virtual display.

When I was like 14 I thought that this was the single coolest thing of all time, and now that I am in my 30s I know I was right

No Syncthing, no git plugins, no hacks. Just Docker + your existing Obsidian Sync subscription. Tell your OpenClaw agent to set it up — it knows what to do.

The container sits in the background using ~200MB RAM, keeping Obsidian Sync alive. Your vault lives on the VPS disk as plain markdown files. Your agent reads and writes them directly. Changes sync to all your devices like normal.

This is one of the most revelatory and inspiring things I've heard recently - a reverse engineered version of Suzanne Vega's song 'Tom's Diner,' revealing all the sounds stripped out when encoded to an MP3. youtu.be/efpZ_jR8kiU?si…
