I am all the time reading and taking notes in bits and pieces of paper, that inevitably I lose. They are too small to include in my main blog luis.apiolaza.net. So I just created the Aleph (thinking of Jorge Luis Borges’ story) as a memex: as an open Borgesian memex. Get it?
Inspiration to do this: Cory Doctorow’s Pluralistic (explained in his podcast) and Warren Ellis’ Writer’s Notebook.
