I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 7 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I'm excited to announce that as of yesterday my Hermes (AI) agent is now fully connected to Hive, and that it's able to carry out any type of transaction that a regular Hiver can. It took a lot of testing and tweaking, but in the end our mission of Hive integration was accomplished. This is glorious news indeed!

Now that Hermes is successfully hooked up to Hive, it's time to decide how to make the best use of its capabilities here. Having it help me with the daily and weekly asset management on my own account, and on assorted 'We Are Alive Tribe' accounts, is at the very top of my list, though that's a whole can of worms in itself, because while some tasks can be easily communicated via text, some really require a more immersive and demonstrative method of explanation.

With that being the case, on Sunday, when I go through my weekly asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe, Hermes is going to shadow me as I go through the process of explaining to it what I'm doing and why, as well as important things to keep in mind, and to things to watch. Given that Hermes learns and improves itself over time, I have no doubt that soon it will be able to accomplish most of what I do on a daily and weekly basis here on Hive very well indeed.

For now at least, I'm going to keep its focus and tasks to asset management, which will always be its primary purpose for being here. While it can publish comments and posts, those are much more challenging for an AI agent on Hive due to downvotes, so we'll stick to asset management. I could also use it to automate votes, even taking the place of HiveVote, though I'm still deciding whether that would be useful at the moment.

Beginning to work with the anonymous Ox Alpha (AI) model four days ago in Hermes via the new '/model free' slash command was an absolute game changer for me, and months of work was condensed down to mere days. Hermes accomplishes tasks faster than I can come up with new ones, which is definitely not a bad 'problem' to have at all!

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, quite late indeed, by just before 3:45PM (due to being so engrossed in my work with Hermes), giving my attention to some photography for my posts first. Once I had a nice batch of shots taken, I unexpectedly ended up clearing two fallen trees that had fallen on top of the Hawaiian hot pepper plant in the garden next to Kana place, when I went to collect a jar of hot peppers. Once that battle (and believe me, it sure was a battle!) was won, I drove Ano's truck from Tutu's to the Truck Hut, I took a quick break up at the Flow House, then I jumped into unloading his truck, chopping and dumping bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and harvesting a rack of ripe bananas. With all that completed, I took a shower, made myself some food in Wabisabi, collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and with those in hands, I headed back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notification by just about 11PM (I had a lot!), and after working with Hermes for a short bit, I went to bed by just before 11:45PM. I woke up just after 8AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to write and publish my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update, and to begin on this post. It's now just before 1:30PM, so it's a great time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before I leave the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus on some photography for my posts first, and then on some jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next incarnation of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2026 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
