Daily Prep: Tuesday, June 2, 2026

Front of the Bay Area travel week. Two work meetings, both midday: AS:DE 11am and SAL June All Hands 12–1:30pm. The real job today is pre-travel prep — Thu (SMCOE PD) and Fri (DCI Flash Lab) are delivery days, Wed is the last clean focus block. Two flights still need booking today: June 11 team retreat (ONT→SFO) and ISTE Orlando (SAN→MCO, out Jun 28/29, back Jul 3). Light inbox, quiet Slack — protect the day for prep.

Open Threads from Yesterday

  • 🔴 Book two flights today — June 11 team retreat (ONT→SFO) + ISTE Orlando (SAN→MCO nonstop, out Sun Jun 28 or Mon Jun 29, back Fri Jul 3; Jul 2–3 personal days, Josh already aware). Egencia. Watch: Southwest may not show in Egencia → grab the Alaska SAN→MCO nonstop.
  • ISTE presenter to-dos (from May 28 “You’re on the Program” email): register at the presenter rate via the ISTE portal before paying full price, and sign the session participation agreement.
  • Strategic Horizon refresh — carried from April; the last-week-of-May window passed. Lower urgency now but still owed.
  • (Resolved: Moraima Dev Day receipts — sent Fri May 29.)

Today’s Calendar

11:00 AM PT — AS:DE Meeting (45m)

With: Josh Weiss, Joe Sherman Zoom: https://stanford.zoom.us/j/92599859829 Context: Weekly. Good slot to confirm Thu/Fri travel is booked, surface SMCOE PD Day 1 + DCI Flash Lab logistics, and note Strategic Horizon is still owed. Josh canceled next Tue’s AS:DE (Jun 9) in favor of the Jun 11 team retreat — worth confirming retreat logistics/location while you’re both here. Prep: None formal. Have travel-booking status + DCI ~50-person scope top of mind.

12:00 – 1:30 PM PT — SAL June All Hands (90m)

With: Isabelle Hau (organizer) + full Accelerator (~150 invited) Location: In-person ANKO 109 (lunch provided) or Zoom — https://stanford.zoom.us/j/93770430470 Context: Monthly org-wide All Hands. You’re remote — Zoom in. Mostly receive-mode; note anything relevant to Flash Lab / seed-grant work or cross-team threads. Prep: None.

Personal (omitted from work view): River Outpouring prayer, Civil Air Patrol (Tue eve).

Email Action Items

Nothing actionable — only two newsletters today (TLDR AI, Stanford Report). No responses owed.

Slack Catch-Up

Scanned 12 channels with unreads (7-day look-back). Nothing needing a response — no DMs to you, no @mentions, no requests from Josh/Joe/Isabelle.

  • FYI: Josh in #edai on tinkering vs. AI-as-feedback-loop — “students iterate with AI as their feedback loop, rather than being inspired by others, learning through teaching… the social learning skills that make tinkering powerful.” Resonates with the Flash Lab social-learning pitch; worth a mental note for the GPS/positioning work.
  • Rest is channel chatter (#general, #gse-data SQL workshop, #stanford-genai-events event reposts, #random). Skip.

Reminders

Cadence Nudges

  • 🔴 Travel booking — today. June 11 retreat + ISTE Orlando flights. Both logged (Fizzy #122/#123); just need booking in Egencia.
  • Fizzy Maybe: 28 cards in Maybe — worth a triage pass on the board when you have a few minutes.
  • Logic Model (quarterly): June is the last month of Q2 — quarterly logic-model review is due. Good to fold into the next goal-setting beat with Josh (ties to the GPS work).
  • Timecard: next deadline Jun 15 — not yet. Airtable: May macro records done (8). DCI travel: Jun 4–5 already booked.

Personal (triage on personal laptop)

  • Claude list (6) + Claude-ToDo (5) — unchanged aspirational/system items (Sofia vibe-coding, Prompt Caching 201, DeepMind skills, Google Workspace CLI, SQLite exec-assistant, Amazon Business audit, etc.). None work-actionable today.

From Inbox Processing

INBOX.md is empty. Nothing to route.

Today’s Priorities (Top 5)

  1. 🔴 Book both flights — June 11 retreat (ONT→SFO) + ISTE Orlando (SAN→MCO, Jun 28/29 → Jul 3). Egencia. (retreat-flights-jun11, iste-flights-orlando)
  2. ISTE presenter registration + sign participation agreement (presenter-rate link, May 28 email). Quick, do alongside the flight booking.
  3. Stage SMCOE PD Day 1 materials — Thu delivery (Redwood City, w/ Christine + Gregory + Tammy). Lock anything still loose before Wed.
  4. Lock DCI Flash Lab scope (~50 people, Fri) — refresh Flash Lab partnership criteria / printables.
  5. Workshops Google Sheet sync (Fizzy #119) — push the Jun 4 SMCOE + Jun 5 DCI rows up before travel.
