Part of the game (or not?) I miss Kicks...

I am going to add some optional 'reading and doing' directions to my posts. Might be helpful.

1. You might listen to the poem first.
2. You might answer the question that Trethewey asks first. Maybe you can engage in the margins with it.
3. You can make all or part of your responses public or private.
4. You can start a group to consider the question.
5. You can have at it in the order presented: my intro--> Twitter thread--> my response to the thread-->check out the link-->listen to the poem.
6. Perch in the margins with the withered wild grapes and the black haw and the redbuds.
7. Join in the work of forecasting your own life.

I like that he suggest to watch out for longevity as it's been rare for an app or set up to last longer than 20 years. Portability in note taking is key.

Editing can become a time suck, so don't do it and rely on the system to unearth the things you thought might be important in the future. Accrete ideas and make connections. They'll eventually begin outgassing new ideas (like layers of fermenting trash in the town dump).

A relatively comprehensive view of Wouter Groeneveld's commonplacing workflow. There are a few bits missing here and there, but he's got most of the bigger basics down that a majority of people seem to have found and discovered.

He's got a strong concept of indexing, search, and even some review, which many miss. There's some organic work toward combinatorial thought, but only via the search piece.

I should make a list of the important pieces for more advanced versions to have. I've yet to see any articles or work on this.

A lot of this resonates with me. On links, it is often the reason I was interested in it in the first place that's the most important.

The nostalgia factor is very valuable to me, but it also means you need an easy means for not only looking back, but regular reminders to do so.

Owning your stuff: hopefully my stance on this is obvious.

I'm not sure I agree so much with the taxonomy stance. I find it helpful to have it for search and review, the tougher part is doing it consistently with terms that are important to you.

This is great. I've been playing around with an early beta version.

Why does he think they are dangerous?

see Chapman and Rich (2018), which examined this very thing.

? Like modifies to be sorted, like what does that mean? Sorts it? by what criteria?

note: check up what a floating point exactly means Googled : How floating-point numbers work The idea is to compose a number of two main parts:

A significand that contains the number’s digits. Negative significands represent negative numbers. An exponent that says where the decimal (or binary) point is placed relative to the beginning of the significand. Negative exponents represent numbers that are very small (i.e. close to zero).
