This is a collection of short, interconnected notes. Why?

It is intentionally sprawling and incomplete. There will be dead ends. It may or may not be of use to others.

Stats! In February 2023, I noticed it had been almost exactly a year since I started this "Virtual Box of Cards." I’m gonna try to keep updating this every February when I notice again:

+----------+-------+---------+-----------+

Apparenly I’m running an average of about 350 words per card, which sounds about right.

NEW cards (or significant updates)

Handy: Ideas

Learning/Growing/Creativity

Computing

Art, Design, and Creative Writing

Meta (about the cards themselves)

Torn, crumpled

Scattered cards that won’t fit neatly in a deck or box.

Here’s a scratch space for other notes I want to work on or flesh out but don’t yet have an obvious place to be linked.
