hmm. I do a lot of stuff, and have interests in cognition, languages, programming, art & culture at large — and I should be easily approachable and fun at parties too.
Sometimes I'll lose sight of him and worry a bit, but I'd rather not call him out in case it's only a nap.

Just spent some good 45 minutes organizing my no-subfolders hoard of digital books into separate folders.
It feels good. I feel like I could do some very light data analysis on this, too.

What I'm most interested in now is optimizing the mental modeling and mapping of the project while sitting in the backseat while Claude takes over.
The solution seems to be designing strict sets of rules and expectations for AI cooperation.

I am giving @zed.dev a try (after having spent the last two months mainly developing with Cursor...) and I just realized it has voice-comm and default public channels baked into it.
It seems like they're trying to bring the public closer to Zed's development. A bit funky, but could be interesting.

At the phase of life and career that I will print Medium articles, highlight them, and hopefully place them upon a programming shrine that I consult every day before getting to work.

These are some Scandinavian heads of state (or whatever they should be referred to) having dinner.
It's...so simple. So uncomplicated. Musk, Trump and entourage probably can't even boil an egg and wash the dishes.

In the last week I was invited to Berlin, to Thailand, to Morocco, to San Francisco — and I want to go. I appreciate movement — it feels good to be on the move.
With time, however, I came to understand it also feels easy only because it's been long since I felt rooted somewhere.

I have been spending a lot of time at home — at my, let's put it this way, countryside home.
I appreciate the quiet; but I'll get the quiet anyhow, as I usually wake up at 5 or 6AM to get focus time at work (no leisure in the morning).
But then — where can I see people? Because I crave that too.

I mean — knowing there is one available at 3AM probably correlates mildly with not needing therapy in the first place.

Thank you, Claude, for making me feel like my work is *a little more interesting* and *a little more challenging* than what I give it credit for.
(I realize people can tell I prompted for more thoughtfulness: I feel a bit embarrassed in hindsight but — hey, it works!)

I find myself currently enrolled in university (again) and one thing I always struggle with is the media people choose to communicate.
I've been doing projects over *Facebook Messenger* and that is a bit insane. So I always mention how e-mail is actually really nice. And today I got this:

My first of today: the soundtrack to Eno (I haven't watched) — but Brian Eno is an absolute hero.
This is a particularly exciting time of the year: people think back about the past year in terms of culture, and I would love to connect to a few music-heads and listen to what I missed out on.

Last few days have been a bit weird. Sleep is irregular and I just — have so much to do.
I am spending this morning just fooling around my Kobo highlight retrieval script, because I have some very nifty quotes from Zen Mind, Beginner Mind I want to write about and with.

Yes, Claude — you absolutely read my mind on this one. It was surely not a missclick.

a rather uneventful day
in fact, I was maybe a bit anxious,
a bit restless,
over what exactly should I be doing today
and then since nothing really felt appropriate
after some yoga, I started a new book
(not exactly the most cheerful; but —— )
and I suppose tomorrow will be fine 🤸

I'm in the middle of something, and I just asked Claude on Windsurf to implement a code feature for me.
Realising it cannot install dependencies without sudo access, it just autonomously safely implemented the feature anyway.
In the meantime, I was just doing my stuff.

this had been a long time coming: my website now features a list of the books I am currently reading (trying to hold myself accountable to finishing stuff, or at least to ~acknowledge~ that I stopped reading something — not finishing books is of course very okay and needed)

err — this is an online app that translates + creates Anki flashcards. it also provides audio and LLM generated leads for further inquiry into the language.
I use it to learn Danish. I first built a (terminal-based) iteration for myself...but my friends loved it, and I realised I had to pursue it.
