My Dad (91) diligently notes down all his one-time security codes in his special Passwords book.

It’s on my list and I’m working on it, albeit slowly. There’s quite a bit of converting required, and other stuff keeps taking priority. But I will get there.

Imperfections are important: they show you’re dealing with the real world.

You are correct… but it happens *every* summer! I’m not into any of that Freudian bullshit, but I’m starting to think we might be in denial.

Nice photo, but I’m struggling to see how it works any better than this image I captured on a digital camera a few years back..

I think you’re right, although Darwin did mention [Descent of Man] male cassowaries looking after the young, while the females exhibit ‘a most pugnacious disposition’ during the breeding season, with their wattles becoming more brightly coloured.

I make extensive use of the obsidian.md app for my detailed notes. I've also created a dedicated note for each chapter of the book. Obsidian has a charting plugin called 'Canvas' which I'm using to draw arrows etc. between my chapter notes. (Narrative arcs are not my scene; I prefer narrative webs!)
