Claude has analyzed 26 years of my writing online. It is not impressed.

Agility Robotics says it'll now call itself...Agility.
The Salem-based company now describes itself as providing "commercially deployed humanoids."

This may very well be too little, too late. I was tracking on the Washington QSBS stuff because so many startups and investors were discussing it. But guess what Oregon…? We're in the same boat. siliconflorist.com/2026/03/06/w...
Remember how much promise the renovation of the Custom House had…?
I know you. You got your ticket to the Silicon Forest Tech Summit long long ago, I'm sure. But I thought it might be helpful to share the list of all of the amazing speakers you're going to see. Because you already got your ticket. Right…? RIGHT…?!!? siliconflorist.com/2026/03/05/w...

Did you know that there's a podcast studio in Vancouver, WA…? I had the opportunity to sit down with Mary Williams Sasquatch Media Grounds to talk about what she's building — and what holds so many entrepreneurs back youtu.be/kGsTlrMbTWI
100% of my code is written with #AI now.
I didn't plan for that. It just... happened. And honestly? There's grief in it. Years of building coding skills, and now I'm asking myself what they're worth.
But I've also never enjoyed building software more than I do right now.
New blog post!
It's a Black History Month tradition. @pdxstepheng.bsky.social shares one profile per day throughout February, and then I gather them all up into a single post for future reference. This time around, it's a Pitch Black alum edition. siliconflorist.com/2026/03/02/b...

Kind of hate that this whole retroactive analysis reminds me that I actually used to write. Not that I was terribly good at it. But I wrote, nonetheless.
If we’re all becoming home chefs with AI, ChatGPT is the Easy Bake Oven

So many big newsy startuppy thingamajigs this week. I couldn't figure out what to highlight first. youtu.be/HMm4CiuyENA
As Oregon's data center tax breaks have grown they've become more expensive to manage.
Counties want help covering those costs. They're not getting it, so they're opposing Gov. Kotek's economic development bill (which further expands data centers' tax breaks.)
