Daily Prep: Wednesday, June 17, 2026

Two work meetings (Latvia 10am, Kellie 4:30pm). Email is quiet — newsletters only. The real pressure is the OOO clock: out Friday, so Josh’s Mural OKR vote (due EOD Thu) and Jessica Tsang’s 14 feasibility reviews both have to land today or tomorrow. Dan email is sent and closed — you’ll raise his IRB-guidance point with Kellie this afternoon.

Open Threads from Yesterday (Jun 16)

  • GPS retrospective — writing block still owed; Thursday’s 1:1 is the checkpoint and you’re out after.
  • ISTE participation agreement (Fizzy #124) — Jessica Garner’s “Re: Agreement” (Jun 16). Close before OOO.
  • Fix Jul 1 ISTE calendar event location (San Antonio/Central → Orlando).
  • Verify replies sent on yesterday’s open email threads (SofIA/Micaela #132, Isabelle Flash Lab #133) — couldn’t confirm from Sent this run. If not yet replied, do before Fri.

Today’s Calendar

10:00 AM PT — Stanford::Latvia ⭐ NEW

With: Gregory Wilson (organizer), Josh Weiss, Elīna Miķelsone, Elīna Līdere (Latvia) Zoom: https://stanford.zoom.us/j/98338988765 (pwd 133251) Context: New meeting — not in yesterday’s prep. Gregory (Tinkery) is organizing with two Latvian counterparts; likely an international Flash Lab / Tinkery exploration. I don’t have a profile on the Latvia contacts or a prior thread on file — go in with light context, listen for what they’re scoping. Josh is on it too. Prep: none on file. Worth a 2-min skim of who reached out if there’s an email thread you remember.

4:30–5:15 PM PT — Kellie Charles (Flash Lab in PCOL3888) ⭐

With: Kellie Charles (Univ. of Sydney), Josh Weiss Zoom: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/84891181216 HOLD: Your “HOLD Kellie” 4:30–5 covers this; actual invite runs to 5:15. Context: Kellie will share her course timetable and propose how to integrate Flash Lab into PCOL3888. Dan email is sent and closed — Dan (Jun 12) suggested Kellie (a pharmacology prof) might want IRB/research-design guidance, and you told him you’d raise it “when we chat next week.” This is that chat — bring up Dan’s offer of guidance on the external-research angle. Note: She originally asked for the full hour (4–5); the booked slot is 45 min (4:30–5:15).

Personal (off work file): 8am chiropractor (Hemet); 6pm River — Beloved women’s night.

Calendar Reconciliation

  • Latvia 10am — new since yesterday’s prep. Yesterday’s file didn’t flag it. Confirm it’s expected (organizer Gregory Wilson, so almost certainly legit).
  • Kellie 4:30pm — matches the action-item you’d been tracking (#126). Now firmly on calendar via Kellie’s own invite. ✓
  • No AS:DE today (that was yesterday).

Email Action Items

Inbox today is newsletters only (DeepLearning.AI, TLDR AI, Stanford Report, Outlook digest) — nothing actionable. Skipped.

Nothing new needs a reply today. The open threads to close before OOO live in action-items.md + the “Open Threads” section above.

Slack Catch-Up

  • Group DM (Josh/Joe/Reuben): Josh posted the OKR Mural voting ask (Jun 16, 1:20pm) — 3 parts, due EOD Thursday: (1) review groupings + add missing questions, (2) vote top 3-4 per OKR category, (3) check the operational board for gaps. → Added to action-items.md + Fizzy #136. This is your big pre-OOO team deliverable.
  • Josh dropped two audio files “for your listening enjoyment” (Jun 17, 9am) — FYI, no action.
  • You posted FYI I’m out next week on vacation (Jun 16) — Josh/Joe acked. OOO is on their radar.
  • Your two shipped builds (Trust Fall app + Handbook Wordle) landed in the DM Tue — quick-build pages still TODO from yesterday.

Reminders / Cadence Nudges

  • OOO countdown: 2 working days (out Fri Jun 19 → ~Jul 6). Land before Friday: Mural vote (Thu), Jessica Tsang’s 14 feasibility reviews (#131), ISTE agreement (#124), 6/16–30 timecard.
  • Timecard 6/16–30: file early — its Jun 30 deadline lands during OOO. Do it by Thu.
  • Logic model quarterly review — June ends Q2; fold into Thursday’s 1:1 with Josh.
  • Monthly Airtable + strategic horizon — end-of-June beats land during OOO → knock out early or punt deliberately. Flag at Thu 1:1.
  • Fizzy Maybe: 0 cards — nothing to triage. ✓
  • Reminders app: nothing overdue/due-today on the Claude or Claude-ToDo lists (all undated research/idea captures).

From Inbox Processing

INBOX had two Jun 16 Spellar captures (both already filed under meetings/spellar/):

  • AS:DE meeting → the one real Reuben action (OKR question voting) is captured as the Mural task (action-items.md + Fizzy #136), superseding the raw transcript tasks (most were Josh’s, like “create the Mural board,” now done).
  • ISTE AI Pavilion Orientation (your 3:30pm meeting) → consolidated the 21 generic presenter-logistics lines into one real prep item: AI Pavilion prep (action-items.md + Fizzy #137). Science-fair-style station at ISTE Orlando run by generationAI@stj.org — separate from your own Jul 1 Flash Lab session. Near-term: watch for the role-assignment email, prep a 1–5 min AI-implementation story, bring a USB-C dongle.

INBOX cleared.

Today’s Priorities (Top 5)

  1. Mural OKR vote (Fizzy #136) — Josh’s 3-part ask, due EOD Thu. Start today so OOO doesn’t crush it.
  2. Jessica Tsang’s 14 feasibility reviews (#131) — due Jun 23 but must clear before OOO Fri.
  3. Latvia 10am + Kellie 4:30pm — show up; with Kellie, raise Dan’s IRB-guidance offer.
  4. File 6/16–30 timecard early + close ISTE agreement (#124) before Friday.
  5. Verify yesterday’s email replies went out (SofIA #132, Isabelle #133); fix the Jul 1 ISTE event location.
