Transcript: I am so tired. It is crazy. Feel like I've just been working. It's good though. Just an endless list of things to do, basically. And improvements to make, and yeah, just happy, excited, and tired. And kind of excited because, you know, I saw John's burrito entree earlier, and it's reminding me that, like, I mean, I would love to make that process for him much faster and easier. Like the burrito, fundamentally, in some ways, is just a back-end platform. What ever website is being built here and now is just an example of what can be built. It is one of many expressions. It is not singular, it is not the only expression, and that's something that I didn't cover in any of the videos that I shot. I also didn't cover that everything is going to be broken and buggy and shitty. That's just the reality. It should work relatively well, but it's probably not going to be perfect. But yes, I'm just reminded the promises there, and having the conversation that I had with Jordan this morning, I know I'm thinking about something fairly clearly. The back-end seems very clear to me. It seems like there are lots of use cases because I can just keep hammering things. It seems like a versatile tool. Probably needs some refinement, and maybe I am entirely off-base, and this is just part of GPT's normal capabilities, and maybe I haven't done anything fundamentally that interesting. That's also very possible. But I'd like to try to make something interesting on top of it, something new and fresh, and I do want a space where I can share a lot, and vibrantly, and also share where some of it's private, and some of it's public, and some of it's to different friends, and XYZ. I really do genuinely want that. I want to share much more to the internet, and also connect deeper with more people. That's something I really care about, something I want to do more. I'm just stoked I got to connect with people this morning surfing. That was great. I love that, and I want to do more of that as well. So yes, this is another entree, man.
I intended to note last night that I might be overly focused on the technology aspect. Jordan, who has confirmed my significant progress, joined me for burritos and I updated him on my work. I value Jordan's assistance and am grateful for his help. My aim is to get the product into users' hands for feedback, despite any associated anxiety.
I finished making breakfast tacos and have a day planned with reading, meditation, and possibly writing. My focus for the day is improving the main burrito website to make it interactive and pondering the challenge of making it easily deployable for others without the pain of maintaining a separate instance. I'm contemplating whether to maintain the existing system or create a new one, maybe using Docker to bundle the components. The decision is complicated due to the unique architecture of building decentralized applications and requires further thought.
I had a beneficial conversation with John, who helped me work through my thoughts and appreciated his support in allowing me to talk things out. We discussed building a simple intention website that John sketched, considering the addition of GPS functionality due to its importance for intention-based actions, and the possibility of an AI assisting with small tasks based on one's intentions. Despite my aversion to login pages, John made me realize it's acceptable to ask for passwords on a website, and that a solution to eliminate logins can be addressed later. This talk has energized me for the week, and I'm excited about working on this intention website project, hopeful about committing to it longer term, and grateful for the sense of direction it provides.
I had a really nice day focused on improving and optimizing our API, dealing with various issues along the way. I managed to create and deploy Docker images, enhancing the overall performance and deployability of our system, which I'm quite excited and satisfied with. Despite it taking more time than anticipated and pushing back other projects, I'm optimistic about continuing this work. Additionally, I spent quality time with friends, preparing and enjoying meals together, which was a warming end to the day. Although feeling slightly under the weather, I'm hopeful for tomorrow and plan an early start for a highlining adventure, pending how I feel in the morning.
I've successfully published my work, which was an arduous yet rewarding process. On reflection, I realize I want to express myself authentically in my own voice, while also considering the need to help others understand my perspective. Looking ahead, I plan to maintain a regular output, potentially alternating days, to keep the stream of content going. In parallel, I'm excited to start developing new projects, including making my work easily accessible to others and laying the groundwork for a decentralized social network that supports various types of media.

The speaker did not complete their weekly review, which usually provides clarity and insights for the upcoming week. Despite this, they have many projects, personal life commitments, and community efforts to attend to, not to mention taxes. They plan to set week intentions using voice instead of writing, including the exploration of websites for the Diagram Website Explorers Club and developing a Canvas element-based editor for Daily Jam. The technical aspects of this project involve real-time data updates, efficient pixel manipulation, and secure user authentication through tokenization. A function is set to run every five seconds to update the canvas with the latest pixel data, ensuring all viewers see a consistent image while minimizing performance impacts. Other tasks include preparing tax paperwork, organizing Boulder events for systems and AI, and sketching ideas for a project called "co-net." The intention is to spend more time outdoors in the nice weather and to schedule the next "Site Craft Hang," while thinking about potential content for the "Explorers Club" website. Overall, it's a productive Monday morning with good weather contributing to a positive start to the week.

The speaker is reflecting on their experience with making audio burrito posts, noting that it often requires multiple attempts to get into the correct mindset—similar to drafting written posts. They're grappling with the challenge of monologuing without a clear understanding of the audience, as they are aware that at least John and CJ will hear it, but uncertainty about the wider audience affects their ability to communicate effectively. This creates a 'contextual membrane shakiness' as the speaker finds the lack of audience boundaries difficult to navigate, which they recognize may vary among different people. The speaker concludes by deciding to end the current note and start a new one.
