i'm a compulsive note taker of ideas and thinkings and jottings and forever. notebooks? i've got drawers full of 'em. more recently i've taken to cameraphonesnapping wee pictures of all manner of stuff i come across and storing it all here - a NEW! FREE! service i cannot recommend highly enough and then, coincidentally with odbe's qotd i saw this good advice yesterday (full article here) "and the work is: only collect; that is to say, collect everything, indiscriminately. you’re five years old. don’t presume too much to know what’s important and what isn’t. photocopy journal articles, photograph archives; create bibliographies, buy books; make notes on every article or book you read, even if it’s just one line saying “never read this again”; collect newspaper clippings and email them to yourself; collect quotes; save your ideas for future papers, future projects, future conferences, even if they seem wildly implausible now. hoarding must become instinctual, it must be an uncontrollable, primal urge. and the higher, civilizing impulse that kicks in after the fact is organization, or librarianship. you must keep tabs on everything you collect, somehow; a system must be had, and the system must be idiot-proof. that is to say, you should be able to look back on it six months for now and not be completely stymied as to why you’ve organized things that way. (the present versions of ourselves are invariably the biggest idiots, and six months will make that clear). |

QOTD/20081204
Do you have a strong expectation of what your life will be like 5 years from now? If yes, do you expect it will be much the same? If no, do you expect it will be much the same? |
Yes!!
No. btw...that was two-three questions. |
I expect to be five years older. :(
I suspect it won't be the same as now. :( |
Quote:
it won't be much the same, whatever happens |
i should very much like to have a FLYING CAR :) |
Quote:
there there. sshhhhh. |
I think it's reasonable. We finally got our Dick Tracy video wristwatches. I think the car is just on back order.
I expect everything to be radically different not just in the next five years, but in the next five moments. Things are at an extremely transitional point in my existence. I'm very excited to be here on earth, and constantly amazed. |
