Game ChangerSureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder: how three cats finally eat their own food
My experience with the SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder in a house with three cats, two prescription diets and one cat that eats three times as fast as the others.

My experience living with the Quooker Cube: instant boiling water for tea, chilled sparkling water on tap and whether the steep price is actually worth it.
An absurdly expensive tap that never feels spectacular, and is worth it every single day for exactly that reason.
Daily DriverGmail to Calendar: The Only Email Automation I Actually Wanted
My experience with a small AI automation that detects appointments in Gmail, summarizes them, and asks before anything lands in the family calendar.

Why Vercel is the most pleasant host for TypeScript web projects, Nuxt, Next and fast deployments for me, both privately and at work.

My spoiler-light recommendation for Project Hail Mary in original audio, a science-fiction film that did not lose me for a single minute.

Heißer TippMy LLMs for Pi: GPT, Claude, GLM, Kimi and DeepSeek
Which LLMs I currently like using in Pi for coding agents, why GPT-5.5 is my default and where OpenRouter or OpenCode Go become useful.
