Arrived in Bellingham, walked all over Western WA University and enjoyed some delicious Indian cuisine at Namaste, then splurged at a hotel to recharge batteries, unload, shower, and sleep for 12 hours. #vanlife #spaday

@MichaelRoss Did the same thing, replaced elaborate hi-tech office setup with simple laptop and phone. Now working remotely while traveling the US. #recommended

Heading north to Bellingham WA to beat the central WA heat. Here are some views from about 3,000 ft elevation going over Stevens Pass #nomad #vanlife

Claude 4 is raving about Claude 4 https://anthropic.com/news/claude-4 #AI

"MR. POLAROID tells the little-known story of the man behind the #camera, a Harvard dropout named Edwin Land. Over a half century ago, before the smartphone, Land was dreaming up 'a camera that you would use as often as your pencil or your eyeglasses.' He would also come to believe his company was 'on its way to lead the world — perhaps even to save it.' Hubris, technology, brilliance, and a billion #photographs a year are all part of the rollicking #Polaroid story."

Scenes from the road. Work and chamomile tea at Mela Coffee Roasting. Grabbed a "Super Veggie" calzone at Lemolo Cafe & Deli. Then some chill time playing Tears of the Kingdom in the van. #webdev #nomad #vanlife
