I found this nice little project that tells you whether the UK or Australia's grid is green 🌍. Right now, the UK is 57% green and most is from solar (makes sense, we're being boiled by the sun) 👇

Is the Grid Green?

Been working on a little project using @atproto.com and I'm almost at the stage to onboard a few people to test it.
I'll share more in the next few days as I finish a couple of features that are needed for launch. Interested? Let me know 👇

We're a fully remote team at Sorry™, which I love.
But there's something that happens when we're actually in the same room that async just can't replicate. My CEO was in town this week and a few days of that energy carries you for months.
Remote is the future. But presence still matters.

Different weekend… went to paint your own pottery with friends. I chose this skateboard and used freckle paints. Not the straightest lines (iykyk) but pleased! Picking up on Wednesday after being in the kiln.

First day of CES, as always Aqara making heads turn! Few of my favs:

♨️ W200 thermostat - 4-inch touchscreen & supports Apple’s Adaptive Temperature and Clean Energy Guidance feature

Happy New Year 🥳 It's been a while since I last posted here. I took a two-week trip to the Caribbean, then Christmas and New Year. I'm back now, focus in 2026 is use @bsky.app a lot more as my main social account 💪

Creating an "agents.md" file but for social media content. Definitely an interesting one I've been tasked with but the aim is to use AI to help us use existing content and help shape up a 4-6 week schedule.

So, I failed this over the weekend. I was so motivated at the beginning, I then got to Saturday night and got burnt out. I also think there are more worthwhile platforms out there that have built incredibly engagement so adding another pre-launch tool doesn't make sense.
🚀WEEKEND CHALLENGE: I’m building
Tease Launch LIVE.
A tiny pre-launch platform for indie makers.
Submit → Curated weekly drops → Metrics -> Promote
Goal: MVP live by Monday morning.
Follow along. Submit your tease. Break the noise.

🚀 It's been a month since I posted I was starting a small project built on top of @atproto.com and @bsky.app. Well, after understanding a bit more about how things should work... I've purchased the domain, got a rough blueprint & about to code the OAuth flow! #buildinpublic

Hey everyone! I am looking for people who are interested in or already are a 'bluesky influencer'.
I am looking to get my bluesky tool in front of more people. This would be paid of course. Feel free to send me a DM if you are interested!
