I'm excited by long walks, cycling up mountains, MTBing down them, LEGO, thoughtful writing, and playing with geospatial data.

i like the bookends Le Guin includes in this collection:
"That requires not a war but a search and discovery. The search takes him through mortal danger, loss, and suffering. The discovery brings him victory, the kind of victory that isn't the end of a battle but the beginning of a life."

coming up with archetypes is fun.
“The Bridger” would be interesting to implement in a classifier: trips crossing bridges (bus rides would be tricky, but possible)

coolest thing about the side quest to walk all of this city is there's no such thing as delays anymore, just misadventures.
friend's 15 mins late to our cafe hang in the west end? no problem, i'll just walk around for bit, exploring the unexplored

We met up at Elysian Coffee! First time meeting a gogomite IRL and it was so satisfying hearing him share how he uses Gogomi ~every day.
Really cool seeing someone nerd out about something you made!
