As part of my News Archive project, I am trying to add feeds from one major US newspaper per day. As a start, I used this Wikipedia page (which has a list of the top 10 US papers by circulation). Only 7 of 10 papers had feeds (Chicago Tribune, USA Today, and Newsday did not…

I appreciate blogs and RSS
I use River5 to read feeds (see here). When I read feeds on my phone, I open tabs with posts I want to read/keep. At this writing, the number of tabs is 81. Why is the number so high? Because I read a lot of feeds, and these feeds are from blogs, not news websites.…

Some notes on Claude Code usage limits
In my previous post, I mentioned I started a task to identify RSS feeds for US newspapers. It took three Claude sessions to complete (hit token limit three times before completing the main part of the task). This was a bit of an eye-opener (I have a Pro subscription ($20/month)). Based on that, I am…

My first AI project
I have watched a number of tutorials on using Claude Code, and I am still working through the Claude Code for Everyone course. After some thought, I have decided on my first project that I would like to develop using Claude. Over the past few years I have been involved in several projects (Portland Protest…
