Day 77: Bright Up and Early

2026-04-24

Hello!

I fell asleep in the middle of a call again... this keeps happening. I didn't have any work to do anyway, and at least I woke up early to attend today's "booking day" at school.

Many friends of mine are pursuing arts degrees in college, and arts careers beyond college. I'm not one of them, but I showed up to the event to clap and congratulate them. From technical theater to game design, it was wonderful to see the diversity of arts subjects available in current-day education.

Just before heading to school early in the morning, I ran out and took a photo of the golden trees. Sunrise had passed, but the morning color hadn't faded entirely yet. I was not thinking about composition or color at all; I just took a photo and got in the car in a rush.

I'm also writing down a story of my childhood for tomorrow. I wanted to get the article out on Earth Day, but it slipped my mind.

Finally: how do you actually Google something nowadays? I use Google for a lot of things (like Youtube, Maps, and Messages) but I'm fortunate enough to have switched away from Google search. If you're unable to escape, harnessing the search engine and using its tools effectively will be worth it in the long run.

Cheers,
David
