Ithaca summer

May 28, 2025


I'm a bit iffy on what to spend my Ithaca summer doing—should I fully lock into Verdus or just jump into gorges and frolic in the meadows? But this video just reminded me to just do it all because when else will I get a chance? (Love everything / fear is the mind-killer) Humans realized this thousands of years ago but we've had to constantly rediscover it. I'll probably forget this but will find it again in a few months, years.

My current summer bucket list:

  1. Make a cornhole set with wood
  2. Make a chair with wood and Ithaca shale?
  3. Make a Mölkky set with wood (My new Finnish friends + the Finnish ambassador to South Korea that I met in Seoul taught me how to play)
  4. Play three actual songs with guitar
  5. Make three paintings
  6. Make a LLM Necklace that observes audio + video 24/7
  7. Make a robotic humanoid talking head like an annoying parrot
  8. Get three paid clients for Verdus

Did I miss anything?
