I took a jump and made several notes. I think this will work okay, but I think it'll take a few links to figure out of my structure will work. I wish I was more confident about this, but hopefully with some practice a flow will emerge. It is helpful to add TK (to come) notes into my structure. I haven't figured out a …

Maybe the 3rd time is the charm. I'm still creating too much structure on my notes. I think it's that I'm worried something is going to come along and upend the structure, but honestly I just need to start trusting it. Also, I realized that my first note, that was going to be about the human condition, should probably …

So, in the day since I've posted, I've been rethinking my permanent notes,and I don't think what I have will work. I've made something that is not generalizable. I was thinking about it this morning and that's the term I need to focus on. It's not about making an argument at this level- it's about trying to take …

So I decided to pick a bit of an indulgent book to read next and add to the system. I got the book on a whim from an amazon sale, in a moment of weakness. Show Your Work by Austin Kleon is definately a sucker purchase, but there's a small chance I'm going to read something useful. So far, I'm through the second …

So, I've been thinking about how to get into the slip-box more deeply, when I realized that it's Luhmann's background that was the catalyst for this system. It makes sense that a lawyer only counts knowledge as something you can prove. I also think it's brilliant (not sure where the idea came from) to create a system …

When I decided to tackle making this site into some sort of digital personal assistant, I had some concept of how the site would work, but no real clue about the practical nature of the site. I still don't have much of an idea, but I think I'm closer to whatever inital vision I had in mind. I think the site being in a …

I've finished taking the bibliographic notes on my second book. I really haven't finished my writeup of either book, but honestly I wanted to get some example material up so I can take a crack at putting together some notes. I've realized that what I really need to be aware of is that I'm a bit of an archivist by …

So, the site is still a mess, but honestly that's fine with me. I'm still working through my major update to the notes section, and due to forseen and unforseen circumstances I haven't been as productive as I had hoped. I'm at the stage where I'm working through a few test books trying to take notes and see what works …

I've decided to start making more regular posts to the site. I'm not sure that my changes will be immediately visible as I build up the notes section. When I finally get everything linked together I'll make a note of it. I was a little apprehensive about making daily updates to the site initially, but if as I build …

So, I've had some progress since last posting on this site. I finished my first book that I took notes in a Zettelkasten method. I felt like the notes were good. I've transferred them into markdown and I've started my writeup of the book. Once I do that, then I'll need to work on my notes from there. I will say that …
