Hail passing through was coming in hard enough to hit my doorbell button.

Mid-transition from spring to summer flowers in the pollinator garden. I'm particularly fond of the Red Hot Pokers for aesthetics and the Penstemon because it attracts a lot of the big fluffy bees.

Another blog post out today for Gemini Robotics! This one focused on using 2.5 specifically for robotics use-cases developers.googleblog.com/en/gemini-25-f…

Building on more than 10 years of robotics research and engineering at Google DeepMind, Google Research and Google AI, we're delighted to announce our Gemini Robotics On-Device system. A really capable vision-language-action model that can run entirely without network access. ⬇️

Found and dried 4 and 5 leaf clovers in the yard a while back with the toddler. Took the week off, so adding encasing each in resin to the project list.

First test clover cut out and sanded. Next time I need to hit the resin with heat to deal with all the small bubbles. Still going to polish this one and see how it looks at the very end, but for a learning/personal project it's not terrible.

100% applying heat to the resin next time because of all the small bubbles. Not a terrible first pass with this kind of thing though.

Since I actually have a minute to play with my home #robots, used #Gemini to generate the positions I needed to pick up this block and drop it using the top camera and a whole lot of system instructions. I want to do a *lot* of cleanup on this, but aiming to get it written up

Plan tonight was to test Gemini generating positions one at a time without any key positions provided, seeing what it could figure out by trying different things. I think I do need to say "approach position values are x" kind of things, but still cool seeing what it figures out

Alright, we'll see how much I regret this later. Signed up for a Master's of Robotics Engineering program.

We’re spinning up a few new roles on the Jules team. If you’re into AI agents and dev tools, DM me. Looking for: – Front-end / full-stack (React ecosystem) – macOS / iOS – Product designer Must have experience building for developers.

We don't generally do screen time (with the exception of an episode of Bluey here or there specifically on the TV when we just need a few minutes of peace), but I absolutely use Veo regularly to make cartoon cat messages. They're a big hit.

Two things I like: machines and LEGO. Built this tonight.

Getting ready to leave for the airport to go to India. Got this amazingly ominous pig butchering text just now. Cool cool cool.

Bengaluru! 🇮🇳 So excited to be here this week for #GoogleIOConnect & to host our regional Google Developer Advisory Board. Catch me on the cloud stage for my "What's New in Firebase" talk with Angel Calvo! Come say hi and let's chat about what my team has been building. 👋
