I’m coming up on the 5-year mark of writing every single day. It doesn’t feel like I’ve been at it that long, if I’m honest with myself. When you commit to doing a basic task as a daily habit, you don’t expect it to change your life. I’m not actually sure that writing every day […]

We are all us humans on the good ship Lollipop. I mean this as a stand in for Mother Gaia/Terra/Earth. We are all in this together right? Wrong? Who knows. I happen to be on the America decks, so even if I can see the sea is perilous the orchestra is still playing. Maybe I’m […]
I am hoping to achieve some variation or flavor of relaxation before the new year comes in with 2025 and it’s back to full speed chaos. Convincing my body that relaxation is possible, dare I say even preferable, apparently requires a complex blend of sleep, vitamins, nutrition and the occasional trip to a professional. I […]

Day 259 and Easing into Habits
Considering I’ve been writing every single day for two hundred and fifty nine straight days you’d think I’d have encountered more writer’s block.

The world is currently rotating on the narratives of American Eastern Standard Time and that means I try to rotate with it too. Alas part of me has always oriented my circadian rhythm around the full […]

Day 1836 and Lights Out
I’m packing in one of my favorite small countries in Europe to head to one of my favorite cities just a little bit further East. Alas the weather has been very dramatic this week with strong downpours, gusty winds, and flash flooding. The city I’m in is rapidly becoming a major hub but still has […]
It being the new year “the new thing” to talk about is “the new you!” As if you weren’t the same person as you were a few days ago. But you have this convenient convention that allows you to decide now is the time for change. I used to call this time of year “eating […]
Much as it amazes me, I have written a public post every single day without fail for five straight years. I’ve not missed a single day. I’ve written so many posts and essays, it honestly astonishes me. I didn’t expect to have this kind of longevity when I began but the world changed a lot […]
There has been quite a bit of discussion in alignment theory with artificial intelligence that considers how legibility and openness might work at cross purposes when coordinating across different intelligences with different goals. Politics exist everywhere it would seem. If you are transparent, but seek to change an agent’s behavior, you might reasonably be interpreted […]
