I’m on a boat again.
This time I’m going to Teshima, another art island. The seats are a lovely teal, at least in the main cabin. It’s a very small boat. There must be around only ten people on it with me this morning.
It’s raining lightly. Somehow this weather feels like it will suit Teshima, even though I’ve never been there before. It’s just an impression I have. I’m especially excited about this island. I told Christian it’s my “soul island.” I learned by reading the booklet it used to be known for dairy farming, so it had the nickname “milk island.” (Maybe some of you know about my fascination with milk...)
I'm noticing many of these posts here in ellipsis try to make broad connections between things.
But I don’t want this post to be like that. This is just a simple post, telling you I’m on a boat again, the second day in a row.
I’m realizing the thing I love most about Beaker Browser is the automatic syncing and publishing when you’re on wifi. That is, maybe I worked on this post offline. I pressed save and hit the publish button, even though I was offline. When I'm back online, Beaker Browser automatically syncs it, allowing my friends to see.
But I’m not using my computer right now. I’m on my little iPod, typing in Standard Notes. This is because, you know, this notebook is all about working in motion. Sometimes it's hard to have my computer while I'm on a boat, if you know what I mean. It would certainly be amazing to have this functionality for mobile...
In addition to easily publishing, I’m also remembering how nice it was to automatically have my friends’ new posts ready for me to read when I was offline. That is, they must have come in sooner when I was online, but I didn’t have to check for them. Now I get to read their updates peacefully without more new updates coming in because I'm on this boat, without wifi.
I can imagine it now. Some little space I can go to that’s both a desktop and phone app. It syncs new updates and pushes my own again when it’s online. It’s just a little place for me and my friends. Maybe something like this exists (Scuttlebutt-ish), but I don't know, I feel I'm dreaming of something much simpler and smaller somehow.
I just circled my destinations on this island in pink marker. I am about to walk off this boat. Until next time ...
