✉️ Chasing Dreams All the Way to Mexico

Here's this week's list:
I never thought we'd be a Harry Potter family, but we're quickly becoming one. My son just turned 9 and we got him this game. It's complex, but really fun. He and his sister (6) want to play it all the time.
We love it. You might too. Find it here.
We also recently picked up Forbidden Island. It's a cooperative adventure game. My 9 and 6 year olds play it together — which is a breakthrough in our family.
It's fun. Easy to learn. And very cooperative. Find it here.
Embracing the festivities around Dia de low Muertos here in Mexico, we picked up a special edition of Uno. We abandoned our generations old house rules and have loved a fresh start with the really fun art.
In fact, my six year old just came in to ask if we could play. You can preorder it here.

Hi Reader, Everyone’s talking about “AI agents” right now. But most people are confused about where automation stops and agents begin. Here’s the truth: they’re not as distinct as the charts make them seem. Automation: If this happens, do that. Boolean logic. Predefined rules. Fast, reliable, but rigid. AI automation: Same structure, but now you’re calling an LLM for one or more steps. Still deterministic overall, but with flexibility where you need it. AI agent: Non-deterministic. Adaptive....
Hi Reader, Save this (you’ll use it weekly). The right prompt is like magic. It gets you dependable results every time. It takes the frustration out of the creation process. It’s the foundation of a rock solid and repeatable workflow. But here’s the thing: A prompt needs to be custom to your task. So most copy-and-paste prompts aren’t valuable. Instead, you need to learn the Meta Prompt™. What it is: AI knows how to use AI better than people. Meta Prompting is using AI to create your prompt...
Hi Reader, ChatGPT has a hidden unlock that most people don’t know about. It’s called Project memory control. And it solves one of the biggest frustrations with using AI for multiple things: the messy, tangled memory that bleeds into everything. The Problem with a Shared Brain Memory is nice. It gives AI context so you don’t have to repeat yourself. But it’s messy. It remembers that one-off search you did for a gift and thinks it’s your new career path. It mixes the feedback from a client...
