@flancian since @an_agora has this sort of functionality, I’m curious what you call this pattern? https://indieweb.org/tag_aggregation
Since I can post to my website by pen and paper with OCR’d photos, I realize I should use a similar workflow to post handwritten zettels to my [[Obsidian]]-based [[zettelkasten]]/[[commonplace book]] too!

Not being in libraries regularly during the pandemic (not to mention an actual symptom of COVID-19) reminds me of the loss of smell of books and manuscripts. When are we going to create the idea of Smell-O-Vision or John Waters’ Odorama for our digital books?

Ivan Illich described it in 1971, so I’m wondering where the Tinder for Personal Learning Networks is? Maybe hyperlink.academy could help us with this?
Using the QuickAdd plugin for Obsidian makes it almost stupidly easy to add notes to my journal and to do’s to my list. How have I not set this up before now?!
Happy International Fountain Pen Day! 🖋✒
I’m surprised that with the efflorescence of note taking software in the past couple of years that none of it has been documented on Wikipedia.

A lot of this metaverse business sounds like what Ramon Llull was creating in the 13th century with his art of memory and combinatoric wheels. Admittedly, it was a single user space, but he was creating images in his mind and then combinatorically combining them with each other to create new external/imagined ideas, thoughts, and experiences.
It gets (a lot) complicated to see this without significant background reading and experience of what he was doing. (I think even Frances Yates misunderstood some of his intention in her magisterial tome.)
IndieWeb is doing some of what he imagined, but rather than doing it in our physical brains (memory), we’re doing together from website to website in a similar communal manner.
