A week of small, hand-made tools - Renato Valdés-Olmos on what happens when you can build it all yourself, Punchcard clocking out with a receipt, Office Commun's Search doing less so you move more, and NEO letting Hugh Howey draft novels on nothing but the enter key. Plus No Rush ambient places, two music tracks (ELEKTROTECHNIK, and the Japanese group Lamp on heavy rotation), and a Dynomight long-read on why the liver is the one bit of the human body that actually works.

Linux reborn on Apple Silicon with Omarchy M, a hand-hatched renderer turning topological surfaces into inked sketchbook plates, and Desert Ant Labs' tiny on-device models that keep AI off the cloud. Plus a rewatch of The Game (1997).

Local-first software spotlight: micasa (home maintenance in your terminal) and resurf (a Mac-native personal library for capturing and resurfacing ideas).
