Read abstract.

The analogy of adding a "verb" to mathematics is intriguing here.

Read the abstract. Sounds generally fascinating not to mention the Stuart Kauffman source.

The abstract generally tracks with my personal experience in the space.

A strong and cogent argument for why we should not be listening to the overly loud cries from Tristan Harris and the Center for Human Technology. The boundary of criticism they're setting is not extreme enough to make the situation significantly better.

It's also a strong argument for who to allow at the table or not when making decisions and evaluating criticism.

Autocracy-as-a-Service---it's so sad that this apt phrase exists and worse that it has such a benign feeling to it.

I'm using it to do both of these things and definitely find it more useful for the knowledge base work. I've never used Simplenote heavily, but it's definitely more focused on your use case Colin.

For the quick notes scratchpad idea, I've been relying on Markor and syncing the results from my phone to my Obsidian data store to get those notes into my notebook more easily. Often when I'm at my desktop I may move those notes to other more appropriate places to keep track of them. Hopefully Obsidian's mobile version (in beta) will make this portion easier.

An interesting thread with some links to the [[agora]] and various pieces others are building.

Their care for the communities and the journalists and creators that serve them is not isolated to the people who are explicitly paid to care about such things. That sense of service permeates the whole company. Seeing that has been a unique experience.

Care for the communities? Really?! I'm not so sure here...

However, we’re not moving fast enough.

I'm also a bit reticent about the We're not moving fast enough part. Sure we need to help out journalists, but usually moving fast in the social space has been a disservice to the user.

I really need to delve back into some of the plugins and test out using them more frequently. The workspace one I tried briefly when it first came out, but it had a few problems for me which are now likely fixed.

Ton delineates his ideas between notions, notes, ideas, and work notes. It's not too dissimilar to the ideas others like Maggie Appleton have written about various smaller pieces being built up from small "seedlings" into larger evergreen pieces within a digital gardens framing.

I do like the idea of emergent outlines he notes over Ahrens' speculative outlines.

I love the phrase "elephant paths" (the correct translation?) for maps of content.

I also like the idea of having a set up for doing digital captures of physical notebook pages. I'll have to consider how to do this most easily. I should also look back and evaluate how to continue improving my digital process as well.

After the recent brouhaha at Basecamp (context: https://www.platformer.news/p/-what-really-happened-at-basecamp), a great example of someone using their own domain because they didn't want the bad press of a silo/platform to stick to them

Great recap of an awesome time Isabelle! Thanks for all your hard work to make it so seamless!

Thanks for all your hard work Meredith! The conference went so well and in large part it's down to your work which hasn't gone unnoticed.

This looks like some good fun coming up!

Just the sort of draconian silo activity you'd imagine that Apple would be doing.

So much for their free and open directory as their position in the space.

This is a pretty solid overview of a literature review workflow. He doesn't use the words, but this is not a half bad way to build a digital commonplace book or digital garden/personal wiki for research use.

I hadn't thought about using Grav as the method for storing and displaying all of it, but perhaps it's worth looking into?

An interesting outline of how Colin Madland uses Notion for his Ph.D. research work.

He's got a good list of some pros and cons at the bottom. The export sounds a bit hairy on one front, but at least gives you some sort of back up in case the worst were to happen.

Not sure it's the thing for me and I'm happier with my workflow using Obsidian at the moment, though some of the ideas about process here could be helpful.

It looks like he's got some of the same issues in using Grav for his knowledge work as I do in WordPress, though the taxonomy and Webmention portions do tend to help me a bit.

Colin brought this to my attention at the OERxDomains21 conference.

I like the metaphors of Dark Forrest and Cozy Web, but I'm not sure that this visualization of it really works for me.

More context on the Basecamp story

I found this article through Hypothes.is when I saw someone marking up the same article I had read.

This is a pretty cool workflow to micro.blog's micropub endpoint.

What a fantastic set of accomplishments! Thank you for hosting such a spectacular space for all of us to hang out in.

You're right. I had to do a double take to go back. What a fascinating life Abel Meeropol must have had.

I totally want to play around with both of these and host personal versions to play around with. Sadly some of the technical requirements for them always seem just beyond my reach. Perhaps I'll give it another go shortly.

I do wonder what a Reclaim Cloud instance would end up running over time. I doubt I'd drive much traffic.

There's a certain sort of irony that this essay is on Substack.

This may be well worth reading with respect to my research on memory, stenography, shorthand, etc.
