I already have places to write things down. But AI — the tooling, the hype, the genuinely useful bits buried under the hype — has been eating enough of my brain cycles that it deserves its own corner.

## What This Is

**AImusing Thoughts** is where I'll be posting:

- **Observations & opinions** on the AI landscape — what's working, what's theater, and what's worth paying attention to.
- **Project showcases** for things I've built with or for AI tooling. I've been spending a lot of time in the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) (MCP) space, building servers in Go that give LLMs useful capabilities like [fetching web content](https://git.sr.ht/~hrbrmstr/fetch-mcp) and [querying DuckDB databases](https://git.sr.ht/~hrbrmstr/duckdb-mcp). Expect more of that.
- **Short hits on tools & resources** — the stuff I stumble across that's actually good and not just another wrapper-around-a-wrapper trying to get acquired.

## What This Isn't

This isn't a tutorial factory. It's not a newsletter with growth metrics. There's no "AI-generated" content (the irony of having to disclaim that on an AI blog is not lost on me). Just notes from someone who builds things and has opinions about the tools he builds them with.

## The Stack

Since you're here, you might care: the site runs on [Astro](https://astro.build/) with the [AstroPaper](https://github.com/satnaing/astro-paper) theme, a Nord color scheme, and [Syne Mono](https://fonts.bunny.net/family/syne-mono) for typography. There's an [RSS feed](/rss.xml) if that's your thing. It should be your thing.

Alright, that's enough preamble. Time to go write something actually useful.
