Reasonable Conclusions
This is not a blog!
I've been blogging since 1998, when I registered this domain name and hand-crafted my own site
This site is different. I am attempting to combine several different recent trends here:
- Personal Knowledge Management system
- Zettelkasten
- Commonplace Book
- Digital Garden
- Learning in Public
- Evergreen Notes
The main difference you'll see is that many of my articles/essays are works-in-progress (WIP), evolving ideas, revised and updated as needed. Therefore, there will generally be no organization by publication date, although dates are sometimes provided, especially as content is updated. Much of the current content is older, but new thoughts and notes will be added regularly.
How my thinking changed
I have been many things. I am now many different things.
