Simplifying & Organizing
There’s quite a few things that I’m trying to organize and simplify in my life. It’s been a years long project and I think I’ll continue to do it for the rest of my life cuz I find it really valuable, but honestly idk. Right now though I’m trying to figure out how some of…

Monorail
Really cool to learn about this project today! Hopefully will replace cars one day so that all transit can use the same systems and infrastructure. 🤩

Nave Air Conditioning
Found this a couple years ago and I still really want one! 🤩 I feel like it’s the perfect minimal AC system that’s simple, natural and really well designed. Such a cool aesthetic and so beautiful how it all works. Here’s another link in case you can’t get enough like me. 😂

Stuck & Burnt Out
I guess I kinda got burnt out writing posts everyday in Spain, but it was pretty fun for those first few days. Part of it was that I was so exhausted everyday cuz of the horrible allergies I had out there. By Monday those were basically all gone (which was SO nice!) but I still…

“Smart” Home
Am I the only one whose “smart” speakers have become timers and light switches? Casting doesn’t work almost ever anymore either. So much for ambient computing and the smart home 🙄

Small Stomach
It’s crazy to me how small a human stomach is, and yet, for my whole life I’ve always eaten meals that feel massive compared to the size of it. 🤯 Why do we even eat 3 meals? Why not 5, 7, or any number? Why have a set number at all? What if I could…

Valencia Día 6/Day 6
I’m feeling pretty exhausted in general, mostly cuz of these allergies. 🫠 Honestly I don’t get how these are so horrible 😒 and I really want to explore the city so much more but I just get drained so fast. Anyway, I’m not quite sure what else to explore out here. I really wanna go…

Valencia Día 5/Day 5
I was really excited about today before we left our place! Today was a beach day and I was stoked to debut my new swim trunks from Charlie. The lighting in the picture doesn’t do it justice, but the shorts have a super cool retro aesthetic and color palette that’s really nice! And then I…

Things I Love About Spain
Just wanted to write about some things I’m really enjoying in Spain. First, (cuz I’m thinking about it while it’s sleepy time 😴), it’s seriously so quiet and beautiful during the night. 🤩 In the places I’ve lived in the US, there’s often too many loud sounds happening during the night. Especially where I live…

🪨 Set In Stone
Nothing is set in stone. I have this idea that may not be true but feels like it probably is. The idea is that everything of value happens in open spaces, between people who share a common bond or challenge. People who want to challenge and question things and make them better for everyone. People…

Valencia Día 4/Day 4
Today was a really fun day cuz we found more Spanish gatos! 😻 The most yet. Travis found some gardens to explore and we decided that today was the day we wanted to scope ’em out. 👀 We saw on Google Maps some photos of cats at one of them so we were on the…

Pocket Computer
I don’t have a phone, I have a Pocket Computer. I barely ever call anyone, and that’s honestly the way I like it. Why do we call them “phones”? Why does it cost so much more to have a data plan with an included phone number when I barely ever use it? It’s not really…
