Regular and required reminder that just because it's a norm for you, doesn't necessarily mean it's actually a norm or a standard that anyone else should be measured by. Those things you take for granted aren't givens. There are entire worlds beyond the contexts you're at home within. Your vision of the world is biased and likely flawed (by virtue of how our brains work on default settings). Adjust accordingly.

I follow a lot of people who post or boost photos of the world around us. I constantly catch myself dropping a like and moving on to the next dose of text-based misery, scrolling past them far too quickly.

A challenge for today: put myself into the photo. Imagine what it smells like, what it feels like. Is it warm or cold? Is there a breeze? What sounds are there? Water? Birds? People?

There's dopamine there - a decent amount, even. People are posting these photos to help, to show, to remind. Take advantage of it.

Planning to record some thoughts into audio notes for Airchat this Fall/Winter. Here are my notes to self on who best to date!

Someone who:
1. enjoys harmonious relationships (business and personal) and connections with others
2. likes to plan events, things, trips that are enriching professionally and personally (i.e. individually for himself, as a couple coz I am into these things)
3. is on the same page RE: values of family life, work as a contribution to service to humankind
4. is respectful of others' opinions even if s/he doesn't agree with them (this is a sign of great intelligence to me)
5. is loving, lovable, compassionate, generous, affectionate, loyal, well-groomed, well-dressed, sweet, sexy (psychologically, not just physically)

@alecui vim user here, I use vimwiki with #zettelkasten for my notes.

You could probably check @chrisaldrich accoxnt, and his website.

@ellane toots a lot about plain text notes, #ObsidanMD and other things around it.

Out of curiosity, following on from playing with Lightricks AI, I applied similar prompts using Midjourney. The outcome is a conventional interpretation of a soldier with peace dove. The opposing gazes provide some visual interest to the image. More prompt words needed :) #midjourney #AI #art #lightricks #videoleap #notestoself
Need to follow more people! Need to toot more! Need to figure out this place. #NotesToSelf

#NotesToSelf

1) Working on simulation of individuals who communicate with each other to perform tasks--including reproduction--to see if I can replicate Dunbar's number with nothing but known human limitations. 3-5 things exhausts attention, ~10% forgetfulness per day, ~50% loss of information on every retelling. Numbers are wildly approximate but highly measureable.

It's extremely hard to keep on #writing with a consistent cadence for long. If you want to be a writer, please develop that habit, above all.

Whatever cadence you choose. Once a week? Great. Once a month? Sure. But don't miss that. And that includes not just writing but actually putting it out on your blog, at least.

Is it sufficient? Hell no.
Is it necessary? Again, not really -- but then you're already so gifted it doesn't matter.

So make that pledge. Track it. #NotesToSelf too.

I need to take more notes.

I see myself constantly learning new stuff but not saving them anywhere. If I do, I forget them shortly and eventually lose them.

I'm already using vimwiki for personal stuff so will implement a way to take notes of what I'm currently learning and perhaps backup with a RPI.
