About

Before computers and the internet, many people kept a common-place book in which they would collect facts, citations, and thoughts they find interesting and worth remembering.

I am doing this in a handwritten journal as I like fountain pens and I read somewhere that handwriting leads to better retention.

However, many times I also write on my computer in response to posts or comments I see on the Internet. Often, writing my response is already enough, and my motivation to actually post the comment disappears, a common effect of writing down your thoughts.

Sometimes, a comment becomes long enough to warrant its own post. And, this is the reason why I started this blog as a place for random thoughts and facts that have nowhere else to go.
