The ingredients of my life now 2025-08-29 17
Since 2014: (ref: 2014-06-23) Almost all the previous ones, minus:
Speed, memory, attention: bit foggier now Research Optimism: replaced with more realism and anxiety. Age-related, or maybe the world has just been getting weirder? Delegation: not enough focus to instruct/supervise Autonomy, long chunks of focus time
Plus: Parenting! Co-experimenter Play More problem-solving An appreciation for fragments of time and energy Biking, cargo bike Toronto: more experience with playgrounds, resources Mobile computing: tablet, phone Audio braindumps, dictation More journal entries, thoughts, photos and videos Large language models to experiment with Piano Wâs retirement
What do I want to make this year?
Relaxed life: Continue to focus on learning with W- & A+ Help A+ become more independent Explore more of the city (and the world) Improve workflow for developing thought fragments - try mixing text, dictation, and handwriting - see how increased volume/throughput works out Keep ourselves stable while other people are going through tough times, prepare for our ownââââââââââââââââ
