Tools for Thought Bibliography
For those who don't want to create a Zotero account for the tools for thought group, here's the list as of 2022-05-07. It doesn't include the tags, folder structure, or related Zotero meta data, but it will give an idea of some of the current contents. We're happy to provide credentials to the group for…
This small, green pocket memo book with a "frame" layout seems to be the perfect form factor for short handwritten notes to post to Twitter. A Twitter notebook if you will. Thanks Midori.
I worry that I may be putting too much faith in the seemingly magical powers of a new Hobonichi Techo to make 2022 a better year than 2020 or 2021.

Handwriting my Website with a Digital Amanuensis
A Capital User Interface Idea A few weeks ago I saw Ben Stokes' post about PaperWebsite.com and my immediate reaction was, "I have to be able to do that!" I've long enjoyed writing by hand over typing as the tactile feel of of pen or pencil and paper is such an enjoyable one. I particularly…
I recently finished reading* The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow; I enjoyed it very much indeed. I thought I’d write a two parts review for CT, and here’s the first – I will p…
IndieWeb Committment for New Year’s Eve 2021
The annual page for IndieWeb New Year's Commitments is up. I always have trouble with coming up with something new and interesting to work on. (There are really so many things, to be honest, and so many that I ought to do, but which seem so droll... What might be fun!?!) I was recently enamored…
Pen and paper publishing to your website? PaperWebsite is on to something.
Handwriting to Website #FTW While browsing today I ran across an awesome concept called PaperWebsite.com. It allows you to write on paper, take a photo, and then upload it to a website.

Mnemonic techniques and language acquisition
Over the years in academic settings I've picked up pieces of Spanish, French, Latin and a few odd and ends of other languages. Six years ago we put our daughter into a dual immersion Japanese program (in the United States) and it has changed some of my view of how we teach and learn languages,…

Matthew Daniel Eddy (University of Chicago Press)Eminem and “stacking ammo” in the commonplace book tradition
Who else keeps a waste book? I carry around a small notebook (usually a 48 page Field Notes) for short fleeting notes. Later I copy them into my commonplace book/zettelkasten/digital garden and expand upon them. Waste books were used in the tradition of the commonplace book. A well known example is Isaac Newton's Waste Book (MS…
Hypothes.is + Obsidian = Hypothesidian for easier note taking and formatting
Anyone who knows me knows that I love Hypothes.is for all my online highlighting, annotating, and general note taking. They also know that if one isn't actively using their notes to some better end, then it's likely not worth having taken them at all, so I store mine in markdown in Obsidian for future-proofing and…
