#TIL Marimo supports a columnar layout.

Helps with mentally chunking things, but this is gonna be my weirdest-looking blog post by the time I’m done. Probably just smush the notebook file export into something Hugo can handle, while also making the notebook file itself downloadable.

Also got a version that uses Marimo’s WASM app logic to work with a user-uploaded Logseq JSON export. That’s more whiz-bang, but also less useful for me personally. I’ll decide later. May post both.

draft of prose and code about processing my Logseq graph with Python and marimo; arranged into columns for the concepts covered. Visible columns include “Graph files” and “Note names and namespaces”

Out with Mrs Geek and enjoying the beauty. Not the gas station we just passed, but out there on the horizon. cloud looking like someone just smeared oil paint across the canvas.

Long cloud hanging low and bright casting a shadow over desert mountains, with other clouds of varying fluffiness visible

Meanwhile, sunset in Tucson.

Clouds lit up orange pink and violet by freshly-set sun as the sky fades from daylight blue to evening dark

Caught up with the thing about folks using GPT‑4o to make what they think are studio Ghibli-style images and animations (random link below for context)

but

it just looks like fan art. The detail lines are wrong and the color palette is off. Look I know I’m being fussy here but you make a specific claim then I’m gonna weigh it with specific measures.

Sure it’s an achievement all right. Congrats, OpenAI. You spent several hundred billion dollars making a decent Snapchat filter.
