I have been building a variety of tools over the past few months largely to help me with my investment portfolio and personal life but in this post I am going to tell you how I’m putting some of it all together although this is just going to be one small piece. I recently built…
Month: January 2026
Exercised $25,000 In Puts
Not all trades are winners and that’s ok but the important thing is that your trades don’t lose you money and that’s the case today with Etherium and Bitcoin ETF trades I made a while back. Options expiry is tomorrow and I had hoped these digital currencies might rally but it was a bridge too…
Will Gold (Jewelry) Put You In Danger?
The current price of gold as I type this post is about $4500 an ounce (~$145/gram). A typical gold wedding band has about 3 grams of gold so if you’re walking around with your wedding band, you are flashing a small portable easily steal-able $435 object. Add in earrings, gold necklace and/or bracelet and you’re…
AI And I Agree, Humans Are Stupid
I have been in a world of mental anguish the past few days. It started with setting up my home lab for developing my own apps. So far I have had tremendous success building apps with Gemini and ChatGPT so I decided to take it a step further and build a more robust platform to…
I Inherited LP Albums, AI Built Me A Database
A friend recently had a family member pass away and as a result they needed to get rid of stuff. I was asked to help and came across hundreds of LP albums destined for the trash and was asked if I wanted them. I decided to take the albums but I wanted to know what…

A Sinister AI Future? AI Eat AI World
Years ago I read this article about Amazon supposedly stealing small business ideas and creating their own products. As I’ve been playing with AI and creating my own world of apps custom tailored to me something terrifying occurred to me. As more and more businesses use AI to help them aggregate data and run their…
Mind Map of AI and Me
I have so many things going on right now that I had to stop and take a breather and reflect on all the stuff AI has helped me do the past year but much of this stuff is that last couple of months! The most important thing for me are the Apps I’ve been able…
ChatGPT Saved Me Over $1000 On Home Network Upgrade
AI does it again and saves me money, well over $1000 so let’s discuss what happened. The problem was over the years, we’ve added a ton of devices to our home network. In addition to cell phones, tablets, Apple TVs, Roku’s, security cameras, computers and wifi enabled appliances, the network was getting over worked. Like…
Built A Financial Dashboard And Credit Card Spend/Rewards Dashboard
I don’t know how Quicken/Intuit will survive, in less than an hour, I built my own financial dashboard and credit card spend and rewards dashboard and it did everything right whereas Quicken made endless errors last time I used it. Financial Dashboard I have a ton of bank accounts and getting a full picture of…
