Victor Dorneanu: Note-taking in 2021. Almost 6 years ago I was blogging about organizing and visualizing knowledge. At that time I was just playing around with Tiddlywiki and using it to collect notes during my CCNA course (more)

Practice of journaling in between your tasks to log them, and your thoughts about them.

Nat Eliason summarizes How to Take Smart Notes: A Step-by-Step Guide. How to Take Smart Notes is a book by Sonke Ahrens explaining the "Zettelkasten" methodology developed by Niklas Luhmann... How to Take Smart Notes aims to provide the most accurate presentation of the "Zettelkasten" system Luhmann developed, and regardless of the accuracy, what Ahrens describes turns out to be a phenomenal system for getting more out of what you read.

Phil Jones: Backlinks in Cardigan Bay. People seem to be very excited about Roam Research at the moment. I’m sure it has many qualities (including a decent mobile client). But I’m slightly surprised to realize that one thing that fans seem to find very useful (and almost miraculous) is the automatic back-linking. Ie, the ability to see what pages link to the page you are currently on. (more)

Andy Matuschak: Similarities and differences between evergreen note-writing and Zettelkasten. use a different term both because there are some distinctions and because I want to give myself space to explore ideas in this space apart from the culture surrounding Zettelkasten, which has its own prior values and proclivities.

Justin Garrison: The Document Culture of Amazon. In my time at Amazon, I’ve observed the way we use documents is incredibly unique. A lot has been written about the six-pager (Amazon Meeting Memo) and PR/FAQ so I’m not going focus on document formats, but I wanted to share how our process benefits from document-based meetings. I also have identified some areas for improvement if you are looking to adopt document-based meetings for your workplace. (more)

Jon Udell attends a Second Life Live Event, and wonders whether the 3D aspect is really adding anything (another Virtual Reality dead-end?).

Saw Chicken Little in "Disney Digital 3-D" (by Real D). Wow, amazing step for the Film Industry. Too bad the story was thin. All true 3D films require having a double image--one frame for the right eye and a slightly different frame for the left--in order to create the illusion of depth. Old 3D films typically did this with two projectors. The new generation of digital projectors do it with just one machine, alternating rapidly between images meant to be seen by the right and left eyes. The Real D technology used in the Chicken Little film shows 144 frames per second, for example. In the case of "Chicken Little," the alternating left eye, right-eye images are projected with polarized light--essentially meaning that the light waves carrying each image are lined up in an orderly fashion, but each side is lined up in a slightly different way. The green 3D glasses I'm wearing have polarized lenses, so that each side lets in only the images that are meant for that eye. Using the Real D technology, the projector shows 144 back-and-forth frames per second, half of which are seen by each eye.

Zygmunt Bauman (/ˈbaʊmən/; 19 November 1925 – 9 January 2017) was a Polish sociologist and philosopher. He was driven out of the Polish People's Republic during the 1968 Polish political crisis and forced to give up his Polish citizenship. He emigrated to Israel; three years later he moved to the United Kingdom. He resided in England from 1971, where he studied at the London School of Economics and became Professor of Sociology at the University of Leeds, later Emeritus. Bauman was a social theorist, writing on issues as diverse as modernity and the Holocaust, postmodern consumerism and liquid modernity.
