Some random thoughts here, on the topic of “sharing bits of what I come across”.
I’ve had this Wordpress blog for over 12 years (including items that started here, and other sources ingested here over time).=.
There hasn’t been any “stable intent or focus”, and both the frequency and content have been quite … random.
I like it that way :-)
There is one strand of content that has existed in some form or another, though, that of “periodic curation”.
In the beginning, this was a “monthly collection of links”.
After a few years, I had two monthly collections, one for “math/science/programming”, and one for “everything else”.
After a few more years, I reverted back to a single monthly curation, and then abandoned this altogether, thinking I’d automate this somehow.
One attempt to do this was via micro.blog, where a given tag can be selected for a monthly newsletter.
I recently realized that there doesn’t need to be an explicit collection.
If I simply throw everything into a bucket, and provide a “monthly view” into that bucket, it serves the same purpose.
And so, having already once had a Roam graph to use as a Personal Homepage, it makes sense to re-purpose that for this.
Given tools like Funnel (really, just a “shortcut” into Roam’s Quick Capture), it’s ever easier to just dump in whatever I’m looking at in the moment.
Let’s see how this version goes.
