Another Quiet Day

Loud Thoughts

Maintaining a tumblelog is just as much fun now as it was a few days ago.

I continue to use it as a scrapbook—an idea receptacle—for the bits and pieces I encounter during my day and evening.

Over the last couple of days a form or pattern has emerged which I rather like: Meme-mining.

Today, for example, I traced the development of a three year old discussion on an idea dubbed The Page Paradigm by Mark Hurst. Doing this sort of summary or collection a few months or even years after the fact has several advantages. You can draw out the larger relationships between the opposite sides of the debate. It makes it somewhat easier to spot interesting patterns on the observations and critiques thrown about.

Shades of that old "20/20 hindsight" thing.

This'll probably result in a research note in the near future on The Page Paradigm discussion and concept.

Looks like I mean what I say in the Loud Thoughts description:

"These are materials and concepts that might eventually become something bigger on Another Quiet Day"

Fancy that.
