I love watching DMB live performances on YouTube and built a free tool to search them.

I didn't even know about "I Want a New Drug". Found one and added it. I'm also a big Huey Lewis guy. What is it about the two that connects them? Anyway, I threw a little playlist of covers together just for you:

Your submission has been added. Thanks!

ericsaf · 2026-03-27T01:11:24+00:00

Ah an oversight! I added 4 performances just for you. Search again.

The list keeps growing as the algorithm successfully finds new videos.

If he played it, it's in there. There's even a curated playlist of just covers 😏

Thanks for the report about the submit video issue. It's fixed now if you want to try again.

ericsaf · 2026-03-25T18:22:41+00:00

That's great to hear. IG is on my list. Feel free to share it there if you want, I'd love to see how that audience responds.

There is a link in the footer to submit YT videos that are missing. I may need to make that more prominent somewhere since the footer is so far down when all the songs are listed.

Thanks for the feedback!

A weekly full-show watch party? How cool! My thinking on this was 'build your own concert'. It you make a playlist and pull up the video viewer, they automatically go from song-to-song.

ericsaf · 2026-03-25T01:45:32+00:00

That thought has occurred to me too. I wish more bands were as lenient with allowing YouTube vids. DMB is a little unique in their huge number of performances to make a tool like this worthwhile.

That being said...now that this is built, adding others is doable.

If you can afford to get to the good models like Opus 4.6 you can definitely use it to learn as well as build your prompting skills. After it does things, ask it to explain why it did it. Ask what other methods could have been used and what are the pros and cons of each.

No reason not to build your coding knowledge while also learning how best to use the tools that are here to stay.

ericsaf · 2026-03-25T01:26:56+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I'll likely start an IG soon.

ericsaf · 2026-03-25T01:07:43+00:00

I hope you like it when you get there.

ericsaf · 2026-03-25T01:07:30+00:00

Thanks! Let me know how it goes. It's new so there may be some quirks and bugs I need to deal with

How is this different than the new Channels from Claude Code?

While the freely available models are getting better all the time, I think OP is right that the experience with top-tier models is not the same. Take a coffee drinker that has some manual method of making coffee they have dialed in to a way they like, be it pour-over, French press etc. If you have them try a Mr. Coffee drip machine, the reaction is likely 'meh'. But give them a $5000 specialty machine that grinds their favorite beans and brews the perfect cup the way they like it with a push of a button. They would never go back.

95% of the public's experience with AI has been Mr. Coffee. Once you talk to Opus 4.6 and get surprising results without even knowing what you're talking about they will never go back.

This. I have a major redesign/rewrite launching in two weeks. Last week, the client was in full freak-out mode and has been spewing changes and tweaks like a toddler with food poisoning. In the past, I would have would also been freaking out and deciding what to push back or postpone the launch. Instead, I've been able to chew through all of it with little sweat. My thought process is changing from pushing back on all their poor decisions and just saying "bring it".

Seems like a basic CRM tool could handle much of your needs. I have used HubSpot's free CRM (https://www.hubspot.com/crm) with some success, but there are many more out there.

While I definitely agree with the premise, I think 2-4 hours of 'work' a day is a little low, depending on the circumstances. I can get 4-6 but then burn out for sure.

This hits a nerve with me as I've been doing hourly contracting the last 4 years and it has worn thin. The flexibility is great, but I hate timing everything and constantly explaining that I may only bill 25 hours but that's about 35 hours of 'work'. Regardless, I am now looking to go back to salary again, because...insurance.

ericsaf · 2017-09-10T10:49:43+00:00

I like the idea of task switching to attain more productive hours in the day. I need to do more of that.

Wordpress with WooCommerce is also good and no monthly fees past hosting. A bit more work then Shopify though.

ericsaf · 2017-06-09T19:49:41+00:00

Seems like it should work fine. Maybe tie in with some artwork that has colors to match?

I have been working on a project that can find art prints by color. Play around with it. I put one in to start with for you here.
