1024/Accidental Moats
In 2015 Slack released it's developer API.
To sandbox it, we built a timer bot for our team.
It tracked how long team members spent on tasks.
Since, we have collected a ton of data.
A few years ago AI happened.
So we decided to use ai to ask the data questions:
How long should this branding task take?
Is x hours for this task optimal for a new hire?
What is the utility % for the Y team?
it's been a game changer.
If you have found a similar moat via AI modelLing,
holler, I'd love to chat.
0924/ Hacking Meditation
No matter what I try- I can't meditate.
My mind just refuses to downshift.
Yoga Nidra taps into the Hypnopompic State.
This state happens right before natural waking.
Hack: Sleep at 10:30, wake at 6:30, laze till 7:30.
Drift in and out of sleep.
This gets me into this Hypnopompic State.
Clarity comes—no distractions, ideas flow.
It's now routine, and I highly recommend it.
0824/ Holy Coffee
I’ve been 'rabbit-holing' Tulsi.
Tulsi is proving it's more and more legit:1,2,3,4,5
So I’m growing 5 varieties in our garden.
-Ram, Shyam, Kapoor, Vana and Laung.
I keep a few leaves in 1L of water overnight.
Extracts more phytochemicals and ups bioavailability.
I mix ¾ cold brew with ¼ Tulsi water.
The taste is basil-y, peppery. surprisingly good.
Benefits: Immune support, detox, anti-inflammatory.
Why isn’t this a thing in India yet?
0624/ Nostalgia
Nostalgia is one of my favorite concepts.
Defined as a sentimental longing for the past.
We're losing the ability to create these moments.
Today, it’s 140 characters,
A filtered image, or a swipe left.
The one-to-one has shifted to the one-to-many.
Now, everyone is influenced to become an "Influencer."
We’ve lost the habit of writing postcards to each other.
Let alone writing them to ourselves.
I suppose that's why I built this website...
A collection of postcards to myself.
1123/ Micro-Farming with AI
Our daughter started solids recently.
The new place has a size-able garden patch.
Why not micro-farm?
I built "Maali GPT" to help me optimize planting.
Vars: City, Hrs of Sunlight, Month, Bedding Type.
We’re growing fruits, veggies, greens, and herbs.
Plan is a three season rotation.
Nit's isn't a fan of the spinach yet,
-But loving the new friends (Buttah-fliees).
