The temperature has climbed quickly all morning at Inner Drive Technology World HQ. (The temperature/dewpoint split happened when I took the thermometer out of its rain shelter to air out.) From a low of 8.2°C this morning, it has already reached 23.2°C and might hit 26° before a massive squall line hits around 8pm. (The forecast predicts 24°C; we'll see.)

I just ordered what will probably be my last two pairs of Allbirds shoes, after the company announced yesterday that it was throwing its lot in with AI. Economics writer Kyla Scanlon observed that this is "a good example of why [the market increases] shouldn't be happening today," and I can't disagree with her.

My boss gave me a mandate Monday to become proficient in some of the new tools he wants more of us to use, so I spend the afternoon doing exactly that. I wrote two new skills for interacting with Obsidian, refining them, and saying "whoa, that's cool!" out loud a few times. Right now my Obsidian vault has under 100 files, though; I'm interested to see what happens when it gets bigger.
