It's Monday morning. I arrived here on a Tuesday night, so about five or six days ago. I am drinking coffee, typing on Pomera, looking at the ocean yet again.

It's sunny today. Yesterday, it was raining.

We took a hiking trip to a place called "Mulyeongari Oreum" which had beautiful hiking paths in a forest leading up to a crater with a pond at the top.

All the reviews on Google Maps say, "a nice place when it rains," which is exactly when we went. I think because it felt a bit otherworldly that way.

At the top of the oreum, I saw a spiderweb lightly waving in the wind.

My workshop happened on Saturday evening. It started with a lecture by me about energy spheres, and afterwards the working portion began, where all the participants tried out my energy sphere making tool, which is a prototype my friend Dan (Soft) created with me. (I am also thankful to Peter for sketching on it together more than a year ago. And of course thankful to Elliott for letting me adapt his version of energy spheres.)

Anyway, this part went really well, I thought! The tool only broke a couple times. People were able to create spheres and upload them into a Google Spreadsheet. We talked about how it was nice we saved the CSS for each sphere, too, so maybe we can make a screensaver after the fact, where each sphere animates into the next... which might go nicely somewhere in the lobby, even if tiny somewhere, to go along with the background music here.

There are still some bugs in the prototype, like I just tested that the CSS doesn't always match the exported image.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next energy spheres workshop to continue iterating on the tool. I'd also like to include some citations once we more publicly publish, shout out to Elliott!
