Sources of beauty

For future reference - Claude suggested these sources of beauty for me: 

A photo of a beautiful landscape. A piece of classical art. Architecture. Nature photography. Music. A short poem. A daily saint’s image. My son's face at breakfast.

Using Claude Code to do my taxes

I'm getting Claude Code to file my taxes using an online tax return tool. It's so great. The magic that lets this happen is the Claude Chrome extension, which Claude Code can access. And Claude Code has all of my tax slip pdfs and images.

It's painfully slow, but fortunately it doesn't stop/pause very often.
