Got an idea today after working with Claude the past few days doing automation. I remember when the iPhone was new. Surprisingly, in retrospect anyway, I already had an expensive smartphone when the iPhone launched; a Nokia N95. My first impression was that the first iPhone wasn't that impressive in comparison. But I underestimated the iPhone's iteration and the speed at which Apple innovated, so I switched to an iPhone when the iPhone 3 came out. By that time, it was clear Nokia was in the dust. Back then, buying these things took everything I had, without exaggeration. I had to save for months and all that. So I started thinking what today's version of it would be. I think it would be a grand automation. Something that takes me months of work. And the first version of it doesn't have to be impressive, I just have to iterate on it with relative speed. So I'm thinking I'll try and publish a hard copy of my blogs this spring; with all my errors in it, as-is. Is spring supposed to be capital? Who knows. It's a few months worth of work, and I get to run some automation in the process. Let's see how it goes.

I'll try and chip at it daily. More to come.
