Launching AI events in WilCo

Sorry for the couple week break since the last newsletter. Always feel super guilty when I don’t get it out.

One of the big reasons has been because I’ve been building out more systems and plans for hosting a series of AI events (ALL FREE OF COURSE):

Excited to get out and meet as many of you as possible, and help connect all the great people in WilCo!

Opening Hype: Hutto is making its next Samsung-adjacent move. Live Oak Mainline, a long-planned industrial project in Hutto’s megasite corridor, is being marketed as a shovel-ready site with up to 650,000 square feet across as many as six industrial buildings. The target is clear: parts makers, equipment vendors, logistics firms, and suppliers looking for fast access to Samsung’s Taylor semiconductor campus.

Why It Matters: The site sits along the U.S. 79 and FM 3349 corridor, about four miles west of Samsung’s roughly 1,200-acre Taylor campus. That puts Hutto in prime position to catch supplier traffic as Samsung ramps, and it gives Williamson County another shot at turning chip investment into manufacturing jobs, property tax base, and permanent industrial gravity.

Bigger Picture: Taylor got the headline. Hutto wants the supply chain. With roads and utilities advancing in the megasite corridor, the Live Oak Mainline pitch is about speed: get tenants in, connect them to infrastructure, and put them close enough to Samsung to matter. If the supplier wave lands, the Taylor-to-Hutto stretch stops looking like two fast-growing towns and starts looking like a regional semiconductor spine.

Samsung is hiring a Systems Engineer in Taylor, with a salary ceiling that puts it at the top of this week’s board. The role supports technical systems inside Samsung’s semiconductor operation, the kind of infrastructure work that becomes more valuable as Taylor’s fab activity moves from construction into operations.

The listing is full-time and tied directly to Samsung’s Taylor presence, with medical, vision, dental, PTO, life, and retirement benefits listed. For anyone with semiconductor systems experience, this is the cleanest WilCo signal of the week.

I can’t stress enough how valuable Wispr Flow has been to my work. I almost never type more than two sentences anymore, because I can just speak them.

And the best use case for it is working with LLMs. Because the more context you give the LLM, the better the output in most cases. So you can speak much faster and more naturally about what you’re looking for than you can typing where instinctively self censor and overthink because typing is slower than your brain is working.

Can’t recommend this tool enough. If you sign up for it and love it, let me know! If you hate it, let me know that too, but highly doubt that would happen.

Lakehaven is an 8.04-acre private estate above Lake Georgetown with Old World European architecture, soaring arched windows, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace energy, and unobstructed Hill Country views doing most of the heavy lifting.

The extras are not shy: climate-controlled wine cellar, sport court, granite countertops, five beds, five baths, and 5,218 square feet. Listed at $3,650,000 in Georgetown ISD, it is a serious house with serious sunset leverage.
