Liveblogging the ETCON has been a failure for me so far. I have yet been able to dredge back anything from the experience other than pain and fury at missing things. All thoughts, recollections and conervsations have been spurred or hung on the notes and writings of others.
As Milton Glaser (perhaps paraphrasing Whorf) said at Voice02: “The way you live changes your brain”. I think my coder and writer friends were able to internalise what they typed while they typed because the way they have lived has changed their brain enough to enable them to do so.
My so-called life as a designer means that doodles and dotted lines, boxes and arrows are the atoms of understanding I have to construct in my notebook with a black felt-tip pen.
I need my hypomnemata

I dunno Jones, I read your notes, and they triggered a lot of useful memories about the conference. Maybe you learn from other people’s writings and they learn from yours.

ps I’m thinking of making one of your quotes from my speech into a sig: “Smenantics is a HARD PORBLEM.” Too right.
As I said to you, think ‘commonplace book’, as in ‘a common place’. Blog the furniture and the wallpaper, for that Proustian rush, because objects — not words, and not transcriptions — are the repositories of memory.
