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 …

So I'm not sure exactly where this is going to go. I've been reading about different knowledge development strategies and I'm in the process of feeling some things out to try and expand my knowledge. Right now, I read some impactful book, I try to learn some basic ideas from it, and probably 90+% of what the …

So, I've got a few things going on tonight. I've got a thought about what I want to do with the site, but I need to fix some things before I can start going crazy. First change was minor, I made a distinction between categories and tags. Up until now, I really didn't care, other than my blog urls looked a little crazy, …
