a lot of "creative" jobs are in my opinion more like "communication" jobs. you have to do a therapist-like act of embodying the troubles and needs of someone else

this is part cautionary tale about letting creative impulses pull the work at hand into fantasy cul-de-sacs and part encouragement to get more weirder with it!

i've been posting instagram videos for a week and after getting over the paralyzing terror it's becoming fun. before i started, i had this feeling that i had to make sense to share anything. now, i'm seeing that the act of sharing is where the sense comes from.

Dude, I’m not sure what to call the work I’m doing nowadays. It’s a mix of coaching and creative direction. Mostly with stubbornly unique founder types. Please advise.

the two modes: 1. just me, a sacred connection to the imagination, a pen and my journal 2. a fully automated gundam harness commanding a legion of agents boiling a portion of the ocean to rebuild my personal site

training an agent is one of the best places i've found to play with emergent design. a sandbox with tight feedback loops plus an intelligence which riffs with my curiosity creates surprising and weird patterns

This is my daily driver for dictation. @cj_pais made a banger
If you're paying for dictation software... why? handy.computer is free, includes excellent open source models, runs LOCALLY, works exactly the same as those apps charging a subscription and sending everything you say to the cloud.
