grinding & brewing

beans: trader joe’s ethiopian
(new bag) (first time)
25g beans + 3 spritzes RDT

grind: 1.9.1 on timemore

immersion: 2 min 45 sec
draw-down: 1 min
mug: patagonia — barely fit
with lid to prevent spill
water: 400 g — poured w/ gooseneck

tasting

closer to dark roast, that bitter burn
edge, enjoyed, oral flowers, no tiers,
pleasant and gradual.

listening

oneohtrix point never: russian mind (2009)

thinking: travelogue app

basic idea

make it as easy and fun as possible
to reflect on, create and share
memories and experiences that happened
in specific places,
presentational format vs archival.

“back of house”

upload / import
record reflections
(write / voice)
curate / edit
return to a
scrapbook aesthetic

“front of house”

share
“comment”
add cards for
bulletin board
and yarn

design / aesthetic

simplify complex images
and map elements
with an illustrative overlay
that gradually fades
to the real photo / map
with each tap or scroll

illustrative styles are
themed with prompt collections
by default; they
increase signal to
noise by starting
simple (3 lines)
then becoming more
detailed

trip representations

1. timelines
   (like subway maps)
   scroll; heading; focus; paragraph about
   what happened; fade in
2. geographical
   maps
3. “hand-drawn”
   diagrams / illustrations
