it’s not bikeshedding so much as it is a symptom of discontent.
but of what?
perhaps it’s the desire to finally build my own memex, seeing as how meaningful these notes are to me.
i may have failed to fashion myself a soul but perhaps store-bought is fine.
webs and card binders
autumncore — 07/27/2020
i really do see you curating yourself like a card binder
you have all these elements of yourself arranged in the most personally meaningful and pleasing way - things that improve each other go together, things you care about especially are showcased on the front page - but you can’t change the nature of what’s being displayed, you just have to hope things have been organized well enough that people stay to look through the whole thing and then hope that they connect with enough for it to mean something to you
by default, my way of thinking is rather monolithic. the note / notebook model has either worked well for me so far, or i’ve been trained to think in the way it requires by this point.
“In what context do I want to see this note again?”
missions:
- to remember and develop that which is personally significant
- to act as a central knowledge repository
every so often i write something which ends up being meaningful, somehow, and it can come from just about anywhere.
