I realize you likely mean your comment as a kindness and I appreciate that intent. However, as the son of a mother who slowly died from early onset dementia, I can attest that just because the ego self has fractured and scattered into a mil

Great suggestions. I've read "The White Spider" multiple times. Every time I imagine climbing the Eiger in hobnail books, my palms sweat. A lot. "K2: Triumph and Tragedy" by Jim Curran is an excellent book about the

Some Yedlin links. I found his process to be methodical, precise, thorough and definitive. The question as to whether there is any perceptible visual difference between film and video that has been post-produced by an expert was definitivel

Yes, I've definitely read and used them both. I think your understanding of the difference is well-conceived. There's some conceptual stuff in the Mundis book that provides a framework for understanding the why of his approach, bu

I used (and use) a similar approach to develop the habit of writing everyday. For example, if I'm scheduled to write for 3 hours and I feel too much resistance, I write for less time. Maybe 2 hours. If I'm super resistant, I invok

James Somer's excellent blog post (and mcphee-draft-no-4) provoked a fundamental shift in the way I rewrite. Can't understate its effect. Not the least of which is that I now turn to the 1913 Webster's several times a day. Ag

I bought a 1st gen Freewrite back when it was the Hemingwrite on Kickstarter, I'm pretty embarrassed to say. I still haven't forgiven myself. I've wasted waaay too much thought on that thing: why won't the founders just

In org-roam v2, file names are definitely not random. For example, when calling org-roam-node-find to create a new note, say I type "This is My New Note". The file created is named "this_is_my_new_note.org". Here's

A super reductive way of explaining it is it's because a lot of state actors (including NSA) have a lot of skin in the game through active, deep investment in the cyber weapon market. State actors strongly incentivize the 'attack&

As a writer, having the Webster's 1913 accessible in the macos app so I can quickly search for a word using an Alfred workflow has proven a super valuable resource for me. I do this several times a day. There's also a nice little

Plainorg is awesome. Keep up the great work. The app has enabled me to use the org-mode based plaintext productivity system I've found most effective on my phone. Super useful. Incidentally, the system I use is from Mark Forster's
