Personal offline media hub. Getting ready to ingest my YouTube history via Google Takeout. Roughly 7.5k video URLs! Once done, feed into AI/Obsidian. Working on transcriptions/bookmarks and how the connection to Obsidian tagging/relationships will happen. Bookmark time relation to tag topic... etc.
Private AI brain stack: Open WebUI sends a query → FastAPI receives it → LlamaIndex processes and routes → Qdrant retrieves relevant note chunks → Ollama generates the response → FastAPI returns answer with sources → Open WebUI displays it. Obsidian notes are continuously ingested, chunked, embedded, and stored in Qdrant for retrieval.
A first post, a new start, day 1 of getting it done!

Officially used my watch to pay my transit fare! No more Orca Card needed! 🤘🏻
Ok, I'm going to rant for a moment. If you're setting up calls and sending an AI "person" to talk to me on the phone there are very few ways you don't get black listed/blocking/refusing business by me immediately. EVERYBODY else should start doing this too, it is unacceptable. All of these are based on really basic rules of honorable human interactions: don't lie, don't deceive, and be kind, don't assume what other's are from or dealing with. 1. Do NOT have an AI call me about things and lie about it being an AI. You'll never hear form me again. This should be illegal and I'm sure it technically is if not outright. There might not be precedence but I'm betting there will be eventually. 2. Do NOT have an AI call me, even if it will admit it is an AI (at least 1 point for honesty I guess) if you could just send me an email or a basic check list of things you need to ask me. Especially in higher knowledge fields, this might work in some spaces, but I'm not going to have a verbal conversation with an AI about work I've done that has lots of nuance, specifics, details, and details it has no way to deal with. If you want to talk about it, a human should be talking to me about it. Otherwise just send an email or text message if you still want to be moderately annoying about it. 3. If you think you need to or MUST inject at AI call into a process like this, your process is likely SEVERELY broken already and you need other fixes before you start screwing it up more with a voice based AI call in the middle. Any type of *voice* interaction should be a secondary or tertiary method of interaction with other humans. Remember, when you inject an AI bot or AI audio/verbal process into the mix you're DEHUMANIZING the process, decreasing by default the customer service aspect, removing the personal human element of your service, and overall breaking at least several of the previously stated rules of interaction - if not ALL of them. Feel free to agree or disagree, but for the companies that have done this to me so far, you've lost me - likely forever. The differentiator you'll have to have to break out of the no no list is gonna have to be HUGE.
A successful day trip to Portland is finished! Good times, good trip, much success! Even picked up some new shoes!
Let’s play, where am I!
How Sound Transit should have installed bike racks in trains. This is a functionally superior way, more convenient to enter and extract one’s bike, and safer for passengers too.
After the wandering lunch on Mercer, on the way home I opted to get off at ID and rode over, then flipped around and decided to take the ferry to Bainbridge!
Nice day for a wander about. After wrapping up some project work, boarded the Link for a stop at Tat’s. Which BTW, not a lot of reasons to just go to Mercer Island except: 1. Bike around the island. It’s nice. 2. Visit Tat’s 3. Go to some of the great parks! 4. You live or work there.
It's kind of an SRV day today. Just solid, good, unquestionably top chops blues all Texas style is where it's at for me. IYKYK. Got inspired lately to really, truly, pick up the guitar and not just play but write and go back through all the gazillion songs and things I've written. Feels good, just sayin'.
The new light rail connecting the Seattle to Bellevue to Redmond areas is hands down one of the most magnificent light rail extensions in the northwestern United States. It's impressive in its architecture but also, even more so, in its value, usage, and magnitude of positive change it can and will bring to the region. The previous auto-dependent option to get across the lakes were extremely limited once one gets into Seattle, providing only the proverbial "carbrain" interactions once one drives into Seattle and suffers the plight of parking their car. Some folks would venture forth on one of the many express buses, but those combined combined barely offer the capacity, comfort, smooth, seamless, or timely ride into the city like the Link light rail does. The idea that so many in the area also opt to NOT BE AUTO-DEPENDENT or to go low car or no car lifestyle brings to focus that this provides east side (Bellevue/Redmond) and west side (Seattle) folks a dramatically easier option to bike + train around the areas. It literally expands the options to get around car-free exponentially. One single line. One single connection. Exponentially life changing for thousands and thousands!
The view coming into South Bellevue is nice!
Rolled into Judkins Park stop (excellent park!) and into Mercer. This is truly transformative, as much or more so than the actual damned 520 & I-90 bridges when they were built!
I had rented a Wombi to verify this exact scenario. Super cool to see someone else rocking the (Tern) Wombi on the rack on the Link!
Going for a cross lake ride on second day of revenue service ops.
Good morning Seattle. Hope everybody is ready for the weekend and to raise your fists against the tyrant! ✊🏻 Also the historical lake crossing commences tomorrow! 🤘🏻 So many good things!
It continues! ✊🏻
