02:01 the present can be saved

fixing sf, acknowledging real problems, new rennaisance technology develops in stages

(In retrospect, this email makes no sense… I don't understand.)

23:37 more on full time work

I'll get the most out of work if i get all of these coding ideas out of the way before I start; I can focus on generating cool ideas within the company, not outside of it.

Is this giving up on independence? I'm not sure. Dedicating myself to one thing and perfecting it - becoming an expert in something - sounds beautiful. Assuming the goals of the company continue to be beneficial to society at large (whatever this means), my work will be valuable.

Focusing on creative work on the side still makes a lot of sense. I'll have to be super deliberate about separating my personal work with work for the company; the two will have to scratch very different places in my brain, and I won't know what parts of my life will scratch which itches until I start doing them. I like my social life to feel and be cool - it helps with design, it helps with day jobs, and music is beautiful. Working with creative people is out there and fulfilling in a way that technical work cannot be. We'll see if I can tap into the Stockholm scene; I'll give myself six months to do so.

All this said, I want to tie up a lot of loose ends with my work before I go: I want to make that new window manager, improve my text editor, and set the foundations for the technical and social work I want to do going forward. I'll need a usable site to write on - and to develop fast, interactive visualizations with, to properly explain my ideas. I need to develop tools and establish foundations for the work I want to do going forward. Can't start any new things while juggling full-time work, social life and creative work; no loose ends.
