Hey Quinn, I wanted to link to your page from my site, but I was wondering if you have a site button I can use? I couldn't find one on your page.

Apparently, I've updated this site 1,101 times. I think at least 901 of those are just me fixing typos.

I hadn't read the OBTF post but it's so intriguing as someone who has tried many times to re-architect how I manage my notes/writing/etc -- a lot to consider! But I really liked your reflection on negativity bias; especially on bluesky and other platforms, there's just a never ending array of the same old complaints and, imo, not enough constructive, creative thinking about problems or anything else.

(cont.) and I liked that about your OBTF post -- it's not 80% railing against any big tech platform, just short and to the point about this thing that works for you that you'd like other people to consider!
Got jumpscared by the new UI

I only submitted to join yesterday, so that was quick :-) thank you for the kind words!
Realised some of the dates for old posts on my RSS feed were wrong. Apologies if you're following me there and you got a bunch of duplicates popping up in your reader.

fyi, breaking my rss feed is like, my *thing*. I never learn. I refuse to automate. I just stitch the thing together and hope for the best.

Hi Quinn. I really enjoyed reading some of your writings and will surely read more. Regarding your last article, I think I prefer having fragmented memories over taking photographs of everything. Taking photos may help us memorize events as they truly were, but it can prevent us from processing them emotionally and what they meant to us.

Thanks Dmans! I'm not one for taking lots of photos of everything either, unless I think it's especially interesting. I feel like I say this to everyone here, but your site looks cool. Look forward to checking out the old net stories in particular.
