Daily Prep: Friday, May 29, 2026

Light Friday. One short work meeting: Latvia Flash Lab scoping at 2:30pm (Josh + Gregory, 30m, Reuben organizing — the new thread from yesterday). End-of-month last day: Ramirez + CRISPRkit touchpoints into seed-grantee tracking + Strategic Horizon refresh (overdue from April, window closes today). Two carryover items still hot: Moraima receipts (was yesterday’s #1; verify sent), Christine SMCOE Run-Through reply still owed.

Open Threads from Yesterday (May 28)

  • 🔴 Moraima Dev Day receipts — yesterday’s #1 priority. Due by today (Fri May 29). Verify sent; if not, ship today. Action item moraima-devday-may26 still open in action-items.md.
  • Christine — SMCOE AI Literacy PD Run-Through reply still owed (date/time not in zoom invite; likely prep for Jun 4 SMCOE BaB).
  • Jaylen Pittman + Roy Pea — offline AI playground reply (Pi 5 mirror + Firebase + UI tweaks). Action item jaylen-webllm-followup open.
  • End-of-month tail — Ramirez + CRISPRkit May touchpoints → seed-grantee tracking. Last day is today.
  • Strategic Horizon refresh — overdue from April. Last-week-of-month window closes today.
  • Cyan DeVeaux — commit-or-pause, 6+ weeks unresolved.
  • Wen (MyBook) reply still owed; SofIA security doc + Micaela flows review (May 23).
  • June 11 Sound Union room booking — owner still unresolved (me vs. Joe vs. admin).
  • Workshops Google Sheet manual sync — Fizzy #119 still open.

Calendar Reconciliation

Yesterday’s prep flagged Latvia as “new thread to surface in Josh 1:1.” Today the 2:30pm scoping call is on the calendar — Reuben organizing, Josh + Gregory accepted. So the 1:1 conversation translated into action overnight; no drift, just follow-through. No work meetings on yesterday’s look-ahead for today besides this.

Today’s Calendar

2:00 PM PT — Weekly Personal Review (1h, personal calendar)

Solo block. Friday weekly cadence.

2:30 PM PT — AI Flash Lab in Latvia (30m)

With: Josh Weiss, Gregory Wilson II Zoom: https://stanford.zoom.us/j/97836499964 (pw 432252) Context: New thread. Yesterday Josh + Gregory both “Accepted” the invite — flagged in yesterday’s daily file as a surface item for the Josh 1:1, and apparently moved to a 3-way scoping call today instead. Latvia Flash Lab is a fresh international ask; this is the initial scoping conversation. Note the time overlap with Weekly Personal Review (2-3pm) — the Latvia call eats the second half. Prep:

  • Pull up Flash Lab partnership criteria (we still owe the 3rd-criterion recovery — action item 69061929).
  • Have Latvia origin context ready (who invited, what’s the ask, dates if known).
  • Gregory as Tinkery partner is the right pairing if this becomes a co-delivery.

Email Action Items

Inbox returned empty for “today” filter — either nothing landed overnight or the index hasn’t refreshed. No new email triage required this morning. Carryovers from yesterday remain (Jaylen + Roy Pea reply, Christine SMCOE Run-Through reply).

Slack Catch-Up

Scanned 12 channels with unreads. Nothing actionable for Reuben. Highlights:

  • #cop-remote-workers — Furry Friday cat photos. Ignore.
  • #general — Dora Demszky’s lab hiring announcement (paid hourly student work, video labeling). FYI only.
  • No DMs from Josh, Joe, Isabelle, or active collaborators flagged in the preview.

No items needing response.

Reminders

Claude list: 6 unchanged personal aspirational items (Sofia vibe-coding, OpenAI Prompt Caching 201, DeepMind skills, arxiv paper, echinacea, Ascendant Aviation tax question). Personal — triage on personal laptop.

Claude-ToDo: 5 unchanged carryover items (Google Workspace CLI, exec-assistant-for-personal setup, SQLite for exec assistant, Amazon Business audit, NASA x post). No new mobile captures.

None work-actionable today.

From Inbox Processing

INBOX.md is empty. Nothing to route.

Today’s Priorities (Top 5)

  1. 🔴 Send Moraima the Dev Day receipts (if not already sent yesterday). Today is the deadline.
  2. Reply to Christine on SMCOE AI Literacy PD Run-Through — confirm date/time for the Jun 4 BaB prep call.
  3. 2:30pm Latvia scoping call — quick Flash Lab partnership criteria refresh beforehand.
  4. End-of-month tail (last day): Ramirez + CRISPRkit May touchpoints into seed-grantee tracking.
  5. Strategic Horizon refresh — overdue from April; window closes today.

Cadence Checks

  • ✅ Timecard: Period closes today (May 31 = Sunday, deadline before last day of month). Submit via Axess before end-of-day if not already.
  • 🔴 End-of-month: TODAY is the last day of May. Macro records done (8). Tail items must land today: Ramirez + CRISPRkit → seed-grantee tracking.
  • 🔴 Strategic Horizon refresh — last-week-of-month window closes today.
  • 🟡 Workshops Google Sheet manual sync — Fizzy #119 still owed; Jun 4 SMCOE BaB + Jun 5 DCI Flash Lab rows not pushed up.
  • Travel: DCI Jun 4-5 booked. ISTE Live (Jul 1) — next travel-booking window.
  • Fizzy Maybe: triage on the board when convenient.
  • Meeting prep look-ahead: Mon-Wed next week (Jun 1-3) — DCI Jun 4 + SMCOE BaB Jun 4 prep is the big block; Latvia post-call may generate a follow-up.
