I know very little about anything. But what I do know is that if you can live your life without an audience, you should do it.” ― Bo Burnham

As if there's not enough noise about Apple in my feeds, WWDC makes it all so much worse. It's weeks of meaningless speculation, rumors, and "wish lists" leading up to the event, followed by a depressing barrage of barely-informed opinions about everything (I don't mean yours, of course). I'm going to shut down, socially, while the smoke of annoyance clears.

I'm starting to think that I've wasted way too much time wrangling with the metadata/properties around my notes. Keywords, categories, dates, sources, URLs, authors, etc. I almost never use any of them, yet I've spent countless hours making sure they're consistent and accurate. Perhaps I should move on.

I rewatch "The Lure" every so often when I feel the need for a Polish mermaid-stripper-horror-musical-comedy.

Kev Quirk and I exchanged emails throughout May as part of his PenPals project. It was fun. Here's our conversation.

Why meditate when you can spend money? -- Dave Rogers

A good and true question! :).

Another from Dave's post.

I've pretty much abandoned the idea of "taking notes." I mean, I write stuff down that I don't want to forget

This is how I think of PKM now, too. I just want to be able to look stuff up.
