Trenton Sandler Committed to Arkansas on June 29. His Website Still Said LSU.

Text-Only Blog Cards Look Like Every Other AI Site. Here’s the Fix — and the Bug We Found Building It.
Dennis spotted that camhazzard.com’s blog cards were pure text — no faces, no video frames. We fixed it there, rolled it to nathanielstevens.com, found a real Elementor save-pipeline bug along the way, and turned the fix into a standard for every personal-brand site.

The File That Wouldn’t Attach: How Boomerang Blocks AI Agents in Gmail (and the DOM Fix)
Our agent kept failing to attach files to Gmail drafts with a cryptic “different extension” error — the culprit was Boomerang holding Chrome’s debugger channel. The fix: attach at the DOM level with file_upload. No clicks, no screenshots, no base64 through the model.
The Speaker Reel Was Already Live. We Just Didn’t Know It.
Grant Haugen quit the week of June 27th. Before he left, he’d already built a real speaker-reel page for Dennis — two embedded videos, CNN and the Wall Street Journal in the press row, feedback from Dennis in Basecamp as recent as June 19th.
