Daily Prep: Friday, June 5, 2026

The DCI day. You made it up to the Bay Area last night after the flight saga. One big thing today: running a Flash Lab hands-on station at the DCI Community Celebration (Arrillaga Alumni Center, 1:15–5pm), in front of GSE leadership — Dean Schwartz, Isabelle, Victor Lee. Then check out of the hotel and fly home tonight (UA552, 9pm). Back’s still sore, so pace the 2 hours on your feet. Deck’s done and shared with Josh.

Open Threads from Yesterday

  • All clear from yesterday’s saga. Flight rebooked + flown, PD Zoomed, DCI deck shared with Josh, and you walked Josh through Plan→Prompt→Prototype on a call. Nothing hanging.
  • Hotel checkout today — Comfort Inn Palo Alto checks out Jun 5. Grab your stuff before the event; you fly home tonight.

Today’s Calendar

1:15 – 5:00 PM PT — DCI Community Celebration [In-person]

Where: Arrillaga Alumni Center, Stanford. With: Isabelle Hau, Josh Weiss, Dean Dan Schwartz, Victor Lee, Laura McBain, Aditya Vishwanath, Hari Subramonyam, Elise Maar (organizer), Tom Merrick. Your role: Flash Lab hands-on station during the 2:30–4:30 experiential block. Deck ready (“FlashLab Slide Deck [DCI, June 2026]”). Run of show: 1:15 Dean Schwartz intro → 1:30 panel (Victor Lee + others) → 2:30–4:30 hands-on stations (you) → 4:30 wrap-up → 5:00 closing reception. Context: High-visibility — GSE leadership + faculty + fellows/alumni in the room. Good [VALUE-VISIBLE] moment for the Flash Lab. Work the reception if your back holds. Pace yourself — 2 hrs on your feet.

9:00 PM PT — Flight SFO→ONT (UA552, DZ3Z5Z)

Departs SFO 9:00pm, arrives ONT 10:37pm. Head to SFO after the reception (~40 min from Palo Alto; comfortable).

Personal items omitted from work view.

Email Action Items

Nothing — empty inbox so far today. No responses owed.

Slack Catch-Up

Read the Josh DM directly. Yesterday’s thread is fully resolved: you recapped the flight mess, rebooked the late flight, Zoomed the PD, shared the DCI deck, and talked through the Build-section model with Josh. Josh asked after your back. Nothing needs a reply. No other DMs or @mentions pending.

Reminders

Cadence Nudges

  • Logic Model (quarterly): June is the last month of Q2 — quarterly logic-model review due. Fold into the next Josh goal-setting beat.
  • Fizzy Maybe: ~29 cards (added #124 ISTE presenter reg) — triage pass when you have a window.
  • Timecard: next deadline Jun 15 — not yet. Strategic Horizon: still owed (low urgency).

Personal (triage on personal laptop)

  • Claude-ToDo (5) — unchanged aspirational/system items (Google Workspace CLI, SQLite exec-assistant, Amazon Business audit, etc.). None work-actionable today.

INBOX.md is empty. Nothing to route.

Today’s Priorities (Top 5)

  1. Run the Flash Lab station at the DCI Community Celebration (2:30–4:30, Arrillaga). The day’s main event — leadership’s watching.
  2. Check out of the Comfort Inn before you head over.
  3. Make the 9pm flight home (UA552) — leave the reception with time to reach SFO.
  4. Protect the back — pace the station, sit when you can.
  5. (When a gap opens: ISTE presenter registration (Fizzy #124); re-export the Flash Lab build-section .png from the updated HTML.)
