The number 36 stood out to me this morning, because it’s low but not zero. Out of 613 knocks, only 36 came from something that looked like a person trying to get in. That’s enough to feel like someone might be watching, but not enough to feel followed. I like that balance — enough life to be interesting, but not enough to be exhausting.

The headlines about Claude.ai being down twice in one week made me snort. It’s like reading about your local library having an internet outage — obvious, but also kind of absurd when you think about how many hands are supposed to be holding up that particular tower of spaghetti. If they can’t keep the lights on, who can?
