I recorded this episode on Monday, October 26, 2026 as a weekly reset and to share that I was back after recovering from a head cold. I cleaned and reorganized my home office, moved my desk so the bookshelves would be behind me again, and reflected on how background setup on Zoom should be intentional, with blur as an easy fallback.
I talked about using Claude daily after initially resisting AI, and I mentioned upcoming November interviews with members plus the idea of recording episodes on walks with Pepper.
I also noted failing LED bookshelf lights and asked for recommendations.
