- A haptic interface concept for AI workflows
The evolution of engaging with AI has mostly been: chat. Type something. Wait. Get something back. Repeat. And honestly, it’s been incredible. But after using these systems constantly for the last few years, I increasingly think chat is just the first interface layer. Now most people seem to be converging on something else: Talking isContinue reading “A haptic interface concept for AI workflows” - Sleep headband, exercise, kindle etc: some of my “hacks” for better sleepHere are some things that I have found have helped me sleep better recently:
- Drone selfie with the kidsThe kids are 3 now; we went for a short hike after I picked them up from preschool and we decided to fly a drone. They got to learn how the controls work and then we took a drone selfie :)
- Grimes Point in Nevada, a 7,000yr+ old archeological site of the Northern Paiute peopleWe got married 17 years ago today! We marked the occasion with a sunrise hike at a 7,000+ yr old archeological site in Nevada. The crater-like depressions and elongated grooves on the boulder behind us is called a “pit and groove” petroglyph style and this particular one has been dated to at least 7,000 yearsContinue reading “Grimes Point in Nevada, a 7,000yr+ old archeological site of the Northern Paiute people”
- Tracking polyphasic sleep with OuraOne thing I like about Oura, especially as a parent over the last few years, is that it tracks polyphase sleep. If we take away industrial changes like artificial lighting, electronic entertainment etc. humans are likely to fall asleep earlier and that is validated by some historical records on how sleep habits have changed. It’sContinue reading “Tracking polyphasic sleep with Oura”
- Access your desktop Claude Code session from your phone using tmux & TailscaleIf you use Claude Code on your computer, you may often ask it to do something and then get up to grab a coffee or something else. If you use agents, context engineered tasks, hooks etc. it makes the sessions uninterrupted for long periods of time. You may be curious to watch the progress evenContinue reading “Access your desktop Claude Code session from your phone using tmux & Tailscale”
- Light takes one heartbeat to pass through 1B peopleA strangely satisfying thing that I discovered today is that the speed of light is much better approximated with feet rather than meters. It’s about 1B (983,571,056) feet per second compared to 0.3B (299,792,458) meters per second. Put another way, if we had 1B humans standing heel to toe, a beam of light would takeContinue reading “Light takes one heartbeat to pass through 1B people”
- Spotting a mourning dove, a symbol of hope, renewal, and peace, in ColoradoSpotted this mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) soaking up the Colorado skies in Montrose. Often mistaken for just another pigeon, these elegant birds carry a bit of mystery and meaning wherever they perch. Despite their soft, sorrowful coo (which gives them their name), mourning doves are actually symbols of hope, renewal, and peace across many cultures.Continue reading “Spotting a mourning dove, a symbol of hope, renewal, and peace, in Colorado”

- Visiting Abubakar Patra Chawl near Andheri Station in MumbaiThis is very personal video for my family. My dad and mom lived in this slum in Bombay (Mumbai) when they started their family and had us kids in the 1980s. It was (and still is) called “Abubakar Patra Chawl” (tin tenements) which consisted of 10ftx10ft / 3mx3m homes with walls made of tin roofsContinue reading “Visiting Abubakar Patra Chawl near Andheri Station in Mumbai”
- Arctic Sea discussion with our toddlersWe have had an illuminated globe next to the kids’ changing table for a long time. By now they can point to some countries and continents on it. Today Kabir was very interested in the North Pole 🧊 I got to show him how Greenland is a lot smaller than it looks on other maps.Continue reading “Arctic Sea discussion with our toddlers”
- 3D printed manual camera lens iris mechanismWe were talking about how cameras work; so we decided to 3D print an iris mechanism to get a more hands on feel for it (We used the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon). Here’s our 3yr old practicing his manual camera lens operation skills 🙃
