Alexis's Working Notes
These are my personal working notes for things I’m learning and whatever else is on my mind.
- Learning is messy and so are these notes.
- In this section, you are actively watching me learn.
- These notes are written for myself.
This is inspired by Andy Matuschak, Sam Griesemer, Maggie Appleton, and Odysseas.
How to navigate
Content is largely organized associatively rather than hierarchically - in other words, Wikipedia rabbit hole-style (backlinks) instead of neat folders. Content is loosely tagged for convenience though: index of tags.
What’s top of mind
- INBOX - where I dump stuff to look into later
- Reflections on A Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows
- Home server setup
- Travel planning: city geonotes
