Your zen moment for the day. 💬 Buddhist temple empty after monks test positive for meth https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-63792923
As I’m writing this, a guy on a bike riding by with a megaphone shouting, “911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB!” This has been going on daily for months. I’ve always wondered who it was. Now I know.
I woke up, made coffee, and fired up my laptop to find the automation I built in Hazel working. I’ve saved myself 4 hours of work a year. That set the tone for the day. I was creative and productive. Tomorrow: research base climbing and jumping, parkour, and urban exploration.
I spent an hour with my friend talking about Automator, Hazel, Keyboard Maestro, and TextExpander. Good times.
It’s fun seeing Mastodon becoming a useful network for me as more and more people join the service. Mastodon’s lack of a list feature is going to be a pain in the ass in the next few weeks.
I set up a vault in Obsidian in preparation for our upcoming Mothership game. It delights me to no end to see connections being created in the graph view for things like the anthropic principle, cosmic horror, Faust, The Great Filter, The Last Messiah, etc.
My Discover Weekly playlist is quite charming this week. But it absolutely does not reflect having the Prometheus and Alien: Covenant soundtracks on constant rotation.
My homework for the next few weeks is to watch movies set in the Kamakura period. Please feel free to share suggestions.
I’m currently writing scripts for one-page comics with a maximum of 10 panels. Darwyn Cooke’s three-panel grid has me seeing those constraints with fresh eyes.
I purchased Hazel and set up all the rules I’ve been devising the last few weeks. That accomplished, I’m stepping back and looking at my folder system with fresh eyes and what I might due with further automation.

Today I sent a postcard to one of the players in our upcoming Mothership game. When I saw how the mailbox was tagged, I recognized it as an ill omen.
