Richness
For the first time in literally a month, I had a morning to myself and a day with nothing on the schedule — no movement, no interviews, no meetings, no calls, no to-dos. I spent it with the internet off, no phone nearby, reading. This is the way. If you’ve ever wondered what “richness” feels like — for me (and I suspect many others out there in the world), one valence of “rich” is being offline, away from the din of connectivity, the dopaminergic pull of the web and apps and social media, engaging directly with one or two well-considered things. (Another valence of “rich” is a day spent with two curious kids, a six-year-old and a nine-year-old, who love each other and can’t stop laughing.)

I’m still tuning tools to make it easy to share here. Templates in Drafts. Photo sharing tools. Anything that would keep me from actually interacting with the platform and make it easy to scroll. I want to make sharing onto a personal website as easy as sending a text message. Without lock in. The Dream of the open Web. One thing I am looking forward to is dictation becoming more useful directly on iOS.
Good morning. It is June 10, 2026, and it’s a Wednesday.
Woke up. Thought about spiders. Made coffee and a bagel with hummus. Wrote a poem about spiders and mosquitoes. Tried to make my phone default to text in the browser. Not happy with the results.
Grayes versus nature. The world seems to be about fucking and consumption. What if instead we default to grace.
Going to lie in the bathtub with the William Stafford biography, with another Poets biography waiting for me.
Pick up J from work tonight. Built in deadline. Good morning.
Finally watched WWDC 2026. The Apple Intelligence presentation left me remembering the only reasons why I ever use chat bots: to quickly remind me of trivia, and to fix Linux problems. I will ask Perplexity, for example, who directed parasite, and it will give me the answer without having to search very hard. (Bong Joon-ho, not Park Chan-wook like I thought).
I do use Siri to send messages when I’m driving, and to pause music when I’m in the shower/driving. If that works better, that’s all I want from the new Siri. I really really really hate the idea of AI creating things. If it makes things easier for me to navigate the world, then I will be happy to have it.

Good morning. It is 2026-06-09, and it is a tuesday. Heading to a coffee shop after dropping jade off from work. Going to do some manifesting of work today. It’s going to be rainy again for another day, then the heat comes. Swim in the evening?
Koyaanisqatsi review to my friend E. I stand behind it. What an incredible film.
