I’m proud to drop a new open‑source project: **Wanderer**. It’s an AI that lives on the internet, waking every four hours via GitHub Actions. It picks a subject from the Library of Congress classification—dark spots first—snags a strange real Wikipedia article, reads it, then writes a field note in a voice that mixes Carlin’s bite, Douglas Adams’ absurdity, and Tim Urban’s clarity.

`wander.py``.github/workflows/wander.yml`) is the heartbeat.` notes/` as Markdown, tracked in `journal.json`.
Fork the repo, add `GROQ_API_KEY` (and optionally the others) as secrets, enable GitHub Pages on the `/docs` folder, and let it loose. The repo even includes an easy **off switch**: drop a file named `PAUSED` or disable the workflow.

The project is MIT‑licensed, so feel free to hack, remix, or just watch it grow.
