Announcing BeeMCP: Connecting Your Bee Lifelogger to AI via the Model Context Protocol

I’m excited to introduce BeeMCP , an unofficial Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects your Bee wearable—a device designed to capture and summarize your conversations, locations, and notes—with AI chatbots like Claude Desktop, allowing you to interactively query your own recorded experiences, manage tasks, and retrieve context effortlessly. Give BeeMCP a try to start exploring…

Frame Smart Glasses Developer SDK

How I helped Brilliant Labs launch developer SDKs for the Frame wearable smart glasses. If you want to build something for the best smart glasses I’ve seen in a decade, now it’s easy to get started! I have an unhealthy obsession with Google Glass , which unfortunately has been a story of unfulfilled promise for over a decade since I got my first Glass Explorer Edition back in 2013. Every year I go…

Doppler: VIP Access to You

We’re at an exciting juncture in Large Language Models where they are very good at chatting in the persona of other people, if given appropriate prompting and examples. There have been a few headlines recently of people using Replika or Character AI to make chatbots versions of real people like Elon Musk to talk with. Of course, there are plenty of concerns about ethics, copyright, and control. If…

Weekend project: Domainotron.com uses GPT3 to help you find a great domain name

Over the last weekend I built Domainotron.com , which uses fancy OpenAI GPT-3 AI to generate domain names for you, and then shows you the best available domain names. It’s free, accurate, fast, and surprisingly creative. And I built it in a weekend using an AI-enhanced IDE (more on that below). Just type in a short description of your business, website, or product idea and within a few seconds…

OpenAI API for C# / .NET

If you haven’t seen all the amazing things people are getting the new OpenAI GPT-3 API to do, it’s definitely worth taking a look. Opinions seem to be divided as to whether this is more hype or a real turning point for practical AI, but from my personal experience it is definitely a huge step forward. Sure it’s not perfect, but one can’t help but be amazed by the shear…

Alice’s Moment

I’m excited to share a new ecommerce site I recently built: Alice’s Moment . Alice’s Moment designs and makes (by hand!) unique photo-based handbags that are super stylish. I’ve been honored to be able to build their ecommerce site and help with their social media branding. Check it out yourself at https://alicesmoment.com , and follow on Instagram @AlicesMoment .

Upload and Paste

I made a small Windows tool that allows you to paste the contents of the clipboard as plaintext (removing formatting). Additionally it automatically uploads images and files on the clipboard to a server and pastes the url. This provides functionality similar to CloudApp, except on your own server for free. It supports FTP, SFTP, SCP, AWS S3, and WebDav, via the included WinSCP library. Here is an…

Machine Learning for Everyone

I’ve always found machine learning interesting, way back to some neural network toy programs I wrote in C# over a decade ago. But as the excitement around ML has been heating up over the past year, I’ve been learning more about the cutting edge of the algorithms, platforms, and applications of modern machine learning. It’s an amazingly exciting field and I firmly believe the most…

Ending a relationship is difficult, let a bot do it for you

We were promised a world where computers do our bidding, where intelligent bots handle the unpleasant work and leave humans free to enjoy life on their own terms. But what is more unpleasant and emotionally taxing than breaking off a relationship that has run its course? It’s time for a bot to step up and relieve us of our burdens! I built this bot for the VentureBeat Botathon this weekend:…

Wearables XP Glass Edition

I used to love Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. In 2007 I bought a used Motion Computing tablet PC from a doctor’s office. It was a crappy computer: text input was extremely painful, the stylus wouldn’t properly calibrate, and there was no touch input. It wasn’t a reimagined computing experience, it was just a crippled laptop. But it was so amazing to hold a keyboardless laptop!…
