Interesting:
- A call with Matt on Monday, which gave me a much-needed kick start to the week. We talked about:
- Random - The Book
- AI-Assisted Prototyping and Tooling
- Luck/Capacity
- Working Life, Community, and Mental Health
- My card deck project
- Created a quick prototype app for my card deck.
- Tweaked some n8n workflows now that they've been in use for a few weeks.
- Realised that I should probably catalogue all my card decks. For there are many.
- Reviewed and responded to a contract.
- A weekend visit to my daughter's house, on the occasion of her youngest's 4th birthday.
Writing:
- This week's Ode Map post, to coincide with Social Media day (who knew we needed such a thing), was a commentary on my poem, "Ignore the Machine" which, as well as being about social media, has two secret messages embedded in it.
- I also published a piece on the benefits of writing as a leader.
The 5 hours of driving to and from my daughters afforded me the opportunity to listen to some new(ish) stuff:
- Luvcat "Viscious Delicious" album
- Yello "Around the Sun" single
- Airsine "Echoglass / Skylark" single
Next week: The Klittens, Nick Cave, anything else that catches my eye. (Ear?)
