\nVisited the newest National Park unit (officially designated Oct 24) today, which means I’m again current on my National Parks unit quest—and again at the top of the national leaderboard.
\n\n@jeffhubbard.bsky.social perhaps we’ll be driving home from DC instead of flying.

\nI recently added a free Muse account to our mix. Here’s what I’ve used it for in the last month alone:
\nCreate a twice weekly ad-free HTML digest of my friends’ posts on FB/IG, which shows me only posts of things my friends are doing (no memes, news/politics, etc). It dedupes cross-posts, embeds photos, over-indexes on travel and outdoor adventures posts, and curates based on three tiers of friends/follows I set up. So I get more posts from my closer friends, and only hear about major life events from old colleagues.
\nMuse checks weekly if either the 49ers or Lions are being televised locally over-the-air, or the limited streaming services we have. It’s hard to keep track of this stuff—channels and start times can shift each week depending on rights/matchups/storylines—and we generally only invest time watching our own teams play. So it’s nice to get a notification on Thursday morning when everything is finally set. We also get a little rundown of the upcoming matchup with injury reports, etc. It allows us to still be active fans, but at a much lower time/energy/emotional investment than in the past.
\nWe bike to our favorite local watering hole regularly, and our preferred route through the neighborhood/greenbelt requires crossing a major street—but the stoplight won’t change unless there’s a car waiting to turn and there’s no pedestrian/cyclist push button on that specific corner. Muse figured out the city request process for me, told me the exact photos I needed to take, prepped the submission, and then helped me follow up 10 days later. Our new push button will be installed and operational on Friday.
\nI try to stay current on my “Visit every craft brewery in Arizona” quest, so Muse now checks for new brewery openings across the state on a monthly basis. For announced breweries, it checks those specific listings for opening dates or other clues so we can plan to attend their grand opening if we want.
\nAn out-of-state friend found out she has cancer, and because she lives in a rural area, she’ll have to commute 4 hours each way (and stay overnight) for treatments. She and her partner are both self employed, so beyond the obvious health implications, this will be a huge hit to their finances. Muse helped me find about a dozen transportation/accommodations/financial assistance programs for cancer patients in her county/state that she might qualify for. A social worker might have been able to point her in the right direction too, but I could send that list within a handful of minutes of getting the news, which hopefully provided a sense of relief and hope in some very trying moments (and long before she could be discharged and schedule an appointment with a social worker).
\nMuse help me research and build a very detailed self-contained HTML file tracking the games/experiences in my 40 years as a season ticket holder for Arizona State football. I’ll update this after each season and am making it available as a template for any other ASU fans. Boy it was fun working on this!
\nSimilarly, I had Muse build a prototype HTML file for an avid Yelper friend to display her check-ins using the “export your data” feature. She loved the idea and now has her own off-Yelp “app,” built the way she wants it. (I’m going to do this with my old Foursquare/Swarm check-ins, but haven’t yet).
\nA friend lost her job and needs to sell some stuff, and asked for help in selling an antique piece of furniture. I am terribly unqualified for this task, but was the only person to step up and try. With a few photos, Muse helped determine what is likely was (which was different than what my friend had been told), what the existing resale market was for a piece like that, identify leads on which shops might be interested, and exactly how she should list it.
\nThe Desert Shield and Desert Storm Memorial was opening on the National Mall last week, and it was unclear whether it would be established as its own separate National Park unit, or folded into another administrative unit (this matters, since I’ve visited every NPS unit and want to stay current on that, too). DOI/NPS never directly announced one way or the other, but Muse kept checking various sources until it found the answer (yes, it’s officially unit 434). We’re visiting next week.
\nLots of comparison shopping (something I dread doing). Recently that’s included adjustable dumb bells, new post/pans, figuring out if our two kitchen knife sets are worth sharpening or just replacing outright, and a new dual monitor/dock station. When I bought the dumb bells, Muse built a weekly workout regimen for me, with QR codes that open Youtube videos showing proper form. I also used it to design a simple bi-weekly paper tracking tool for cardio, strength training, stretching, and walking that we keep on the fridge. We travel frequently, so it will customize the dates based on the days we’re actually home, which is nice.
\nMy wife applied for a 90-day work detail in Rome, and Muse helped sketch out 15 weekend trips we could take from there, which gave us a great starting point for what our travel might look like if she got it.
\nI’ve been building out a website directory/tracking app related to travel quests, and I’ve sent Muse off literally hundreds of times to do large amounts of grunt work research. It’s helped me move a 5-yr old project from hopelessly stalled to something I can launch by the holidays, and from simple directory to full featured app (Claude’s done the tough coding and data integrity work, but Muse has done most of the raw legwork).
\nAgain, that’s just one month, using a free account (read: unsustainably subsidized, only free for now).
\nThere’s a lot to (rightly) hate about “AI” and how this is currently proceeding, but it’s clear to me that there’s a lot of value in the technology, too.
