Lab / Living archive
Experiments, systems, and notes
The work between the work.
A quiet index of what I am testing, building, and recording—kept close to the evidence and honest about what is still unfinished.
01 / Index
What is here
Not a catalogue of everything. Just the pieces that help make the method visible.
01
Ongoing system
AI Briefing Workflows
A recurring workflow for selecting, verifying, and recording concise Chinese AI briefings.

Ongoing system
Local-first Knowledge System
I keep notes, references, and AI signals close to home, then use review, deduplication, and carefully scoped sync to keep a personal system findable and reusable.

Ongoing experiments
Creative AI Experiments
Small tests of visual direction, agent workflows, and digital experiences where usefulness can be felt.

Play music with your hands
Move one hand to shape the melody and the other to change the beat. The sound responds to your gestures while the visuals follow along.

02 / Practice
How I decide what stays
The archive follows the same rules as the work: usefulness before novelty, evidence before confidence, and enough room to change course.
01
Useful before novel
A new tool earns a place by improving a real workflow—not by being new.
02
Evidence at the edges
Sources, dates, failure states, and delivery boundaries are part of the output.
03
Small enough to live with
The best system is one that remains clear, local, and useful after the excitement fades.

If you are exploring practical AI, thoughtful automation, knowledge systems, or a small creative collaboration, I would be glad to hear from you.
