herd of horses, bitter ridge towards dawn

bean log 2026-03-17 tue 0552: grounds sniff, grind, brew, taste, listening, and reflections with finca los angeles el salvador stamp

grounds sniff

grind

1.8.3 on timemore
16.0 g beans finca (frozen)
15.8 g grounds finca
+0.2 g leftovers

brew

256.8 g purified water
poured in by 1’10”, with
two pours of gooseneck,
first @ 175 g, 2nd remainder
2’45” immersion time
patagonia mug

taste

first sip
satisfies, plies
the attention.
second, the bitter
ridge, descending
from the sleep-encrusted
mountain, towards
the dawn. nothing
definite, everything between.

listening

evgeny kissin, the salzburg
recital. first was berg’s
piano sonata, op. 1. is it
frustrated? relaxed? distorted?

reflection

yesterday, listened to
doac with daniel priestley
who suggested a creative
practice.
nerd safari
led to donald a. schön,
mit social scientist,
who wrote ‘83 book, the reflective practitioner.

schön has “knowing-in-action”
— skilled people often can’t explain what they do
— reflection is a type of dialog with a situation

many agentic loops are built
on similar “technology”

language is a ghost
or maybe a spirit

what’s the difference?
