| </header> | |
| <div class="section"> | |
| <h2><span class="icon">💻</span> Work & Projects</h2> | |
| <h3>Parachute Development</h3> | |
| <p>Significant progress on an AI-assisted journaling and thinking tool:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Integrating a reflection agent and working on skills/agents architecture</li> | |
| <li>Building custom MCPs including browser automation</li> | |
| <li>Consolidating the app back into a unified frontend</li> | |
| <li>Working on the daily curator feature for morning reflections</li> | |
| <li>Thinking through system configurability and interoperability</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h3>Learn, Vibe, Build</h3> | |
| <p>An educational initiative around AI and "vibecoding" is taking shape. Planning workshops to teach people how to use tools like Claude Code, covering topics from basic LLM concepts to agentic workflows. Exploring potential for this to become a larger venture/incubator space.</p> | |
| <h3>Woven Web</h3> | |
| <p>Deep collaborative visioning around "education, arts, and technology" as a triad. The project aims to reconcile humanities and sciences, create transformative community experiences, and build learning containers.</p> | |
| <h3>Spirit of the Front Range</h3> | |
| <p>A weekend retreat focused on community organizing and shaping a regional commons. Developed communication strategy and worked on fostering shared identity and ecological participation.</p> | |

| <h2><span class="icon">🌿</span> Health & Practices</h2> | |
| <ul> | |

| <div class="section"> | |
| <h2><span class="icon">🤖</span> Reflections on AI Usage</h2> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Hit API usage limits, forcing a couple days without Claude</li> | |
| <li>Found this contrast healthy for mental reset</li> | |
| <li>Observed that time without AI brings "first brain" thinking online more fully</li> | |
| <li>Using pomodoro timers and structure to support alignment when energy is scattered</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <div class="highlight"> | |
| "Like having a steady drip of an LSD microdose... slowing down for a day or two because of usage limits feels really quite healthy." | |
| </div> | |

| <div class="section"> | |
| <h2><span class="icon">🌐</span> Community & Social</h2> | |

| <ul> | |
| <li>Balance and contrast in AI usage is valuable</li> | |
| <li>The importance of diverse thinking modes (voice vs. typing, with/without AI assistance)</li> | |
| <li>Focus on creating learning containers that are transformative rather than transactional</li> | |
| <li>Importance of grounding practices when cognitive/creative energy runs high</li> | |
