I think completing the Hammertime sequence is a nice complementary activity to my media diet + habit changes, should prove beneficial to me, and will likely be fun since I’m doing it with others. I’ll be logging my experiences with the Hammertime Sequence in my daily shortform posts, I think keeping such a journal will be helpful and nice.
I looked at University of Washington graduate programs last week and wrote down the ones that looked interesting, next week I’ll inspect each program more carefully, list requirements, determine feasibility and interest, etc.
I think it’s a good idea to spend time doing remote gig work as part of my 8 hours of productive time each weekday, so I’ll fit that into my schedule in addition to doing job applications and another thing or so. If you recommend any particular gig work or contract work aggregators / sites, I’d be happy to hear about it.
Notions of legibility still seem intensely important to me, I suspect I’ll end up writing actual posts about that as I explore the concept(s) further and find examples of where legibility matters (well, not just find the examples, that’s pretty easy, but examine them more closely; plus figure out more precisely and coherently what I mean by legibility.
I finished reading the last few Specificity Sequence posts during the week, can definitely say that sequence impacted me in beneficial and significant ways, strong endorsement for reading it.
Shortform #53 Train Goes Choo Choo
I’m back aboard the daily shortform writing train as mentioned in my media diet post
I’m running a group through the Hammertime sequence!. We start Monday 19 July, 2021. If you’re interested and want to do that, join the Houston Rationalists discord server, that’s where group communications and activities will take place; https://discord.gg/kmZy5ny

That’s all for now, sleep awaits.
