Today I’ve written about: The Global Mail The Nation Nieman Reports PR Watch Quartz Nb. There are a couple more links I’ve frequented which I’d like to review (i.e...

As I write this line I am already aware that I have produced a few strategies below. Index: Strategy: Day Plans Strategy: A Week in a Day Strategy: Thinking About It Strategy: Planning for Castles in the Air Strategy: Day Plans Here’s an idea: Establish a ritual upon starting the day for delineating some plans for tasks to be conducted (i.e. during that same day). I envision these day plans...

Here are some things that I wrote. Project “Project” [Here I am describing an intention to focus activities by categories defined as projects]. A project can be anything and there can be any number, but practical considerations will double as reasonable constraints in both those instances. A study of a range is not necessary at the moment since I am interested in those projects...

Contents: A post-modern epiphany Reading Scaruffi: Gaining perspective on chapter 4 A Post-Modern Epiphany One thing I’d like to note, real quick, is the analogy of Alice in Wonderland. It is possible to realize that all the rules and cultural institutions (e.g. library, bank, supermarket, school, army) are as sensical and straight-forward as are the Queen of Hearts and the rabbit in a...

I’m noticing a pattern… some sort of correlation between a quantum unit of dates and the flow of time… but to what end? And how does a continuum translate into an array of discrete units? But more pressing and vexing: to what end? Tick tock, tick tock, tick… NEW DAY. Hmmm. Pressing forth into the fourth chapter of Scaruffi’s challenge Prequel; or, In last’s...

Philosopher Briefs: Christian Wolff – Take 2 (In which I write a little bit about my previous [mis]understanding of Wolff, and lead into a discussion of his relationship with Leibniz) Yesterday I had initiated my intention. Today I hope to overcome these...

Contents: Dear Diary (#Life) We Interrupt (#McCarthyQuote) What’s New (#Scaruffi) Meta (aka “In yesterday’s iinstalmentof Shai’s rambling linguistics”): Yesterday I finished off writing a little bit (just a tad, really) about my ongoing note taking relating to Scaruffi’s book. I’d also written about one of (many) films I had watched yesterday, namely the...
Monday November 11, 2013
Things I can write about include updates on my reading of Scaruffi’s, or my television watching, including the latest episode of The Walking Dead, or a couple of movies I’d overdosed myself. The list of movies included at least: In Time, I Am Gabriel, Grabbers, Good Deeds, Fire With Fire (maybe even more! but I think! that that is it!). I plan to just start randomly and without too...
