Reading Time: 2 min A few months ago I started playing with the idea of migrating my notes from Obsidian over to Tana. Tana is a fantastic system and a great tool, but I’ve ultimately decided to keep things in Obsidian for a few reasons. Ownership While I have faith that Tana will be around for a while, using […]

Personal note-taking is going to change dramatically
Reading Time: 2 min My history of using different note-taking tools over the years is well-documented in this blog, including my recent move from Obsidian to Tana. While Tana has some great features and I really enjoy using it, it’s ultimately just a slightly better version of the tools that came before it and I may end up moving […]
Google Reader hurt the internet the most
Reading Time: 2 min Over the years, Google has killed off a lot of products, with the “Killed by Google” site listing 280 of them as of now. Most were pretty small ones you’ve never heard of, but some were rather substantial. I was a big fan of Google+, and I’m still upset that they canceled Stadia. While those […]
ChatGPT Everywhere
Reading Time: 2 min About a week ago I published a post talking about ChatGPT and what it might eventually bring. If you aren’t familiar with what ChatGPT is, I encourage you to check out that post first and then come back here. In the week since then, usage of ChatGPT has continued to skyrocket, but now we’re also […]
Building in anticipation of new technology
Reading Time: < 1 min As I’ve been migrating my notes over to Tana, I’ve noticed that I’m doing some things that Tana doesn’t support yet, but I’m hoping they will.

Did I write this?
Reading Time: 4 min AI technologies continue to improve, as I shared a few months ago with my post about AI-generated art. Along with art, AI-generated text has been improving rapidly as well, and the new (currently free) ChatGPT has taken things to a whole new level. In short, it’s a chatbot that can create unbelievably solid text about […]
The Kindle Scribe is great if you love the Kindle
Reading Time: < 1 min I alluded to this in my post about the Kindle Scribe a few days ago, but after a few more days of using it I think it’s even more accurate. The title may sound a little silly, but I’m finding it to be absolutely true. If you are a fan of the Kindle, and can […]
Innovation is defined by the market
Reading Time: 2 min Bell Labs was a research and scientific development company that Bell (later known as AT&T) founded in 1925. It largely closed in 2007, though bits of it still exist today. Over the years, that group arguably produced more widespread innovations than any other group in the world. Among other things, they developed: The transistor Early […]
The Kindle Scribe versus the reMarkable 2
Reading Time: 2 min I’ve been a big fan of the reMarkable tablet over the past few years, as I find it an excellent way to take notes in various settings. Similarly, I’ve been a big fan of the Amazon Kindle for quite a few years now. I still read a good number of printed books, but most of […]
From Twitter to Mastodon?
Reading Time: 2 min While the Elon Musk + Twitter situation seems to get stranger by the day, many people are moving over to Mastodon instead. Whether it sticks or not remains to be seen, but it has potential to be a great solution. At it’s core, Mastodon is a decentralized social network that feels a lot like Twitter. […]
