Welcome to the Jungle

If you've come this far, you've found my jungle. It is a growing body of public notes on anything I find interesting enough to write about.

The creation of these notes is driven by my [[Weekly Reviews]]. Weekly reviews are where I gather my thoughts on the books, articles, and podcasts I consumed in the past week. Use the links below to see my recent reviews:

• [[2021-02-14]]

Trailheads

Extending [[The Jungle]] metaphor, my "trailhead" notes are listed below. These are the best places to enter the jungle.

As you explore, do not be afraid to click away to other ideas linked in each note. The point is to go deep and find connections.

Some notes are much more well built than others. Often, I'll publish a note as encouragement for myself to clean it up in the anticipation that others may see it soon. If you end up somewhere that looks like a mess, don't be afraid to help me build it (by reaching out on twitter and email).

  Extending [[The Jungle]] metaphor, my "trailhead" notes are listed below. These are the best places to enter the jungle.

  Each page is a note on a topic. At the bottom of each page, you'll see a section titled My Linked Notes. This a list of all other notes that reference your current note. Pages link to other pages based on text enclosed in double brackets (like this: [[The Jungle]]). Click on them to go to that note.

  Continuing [[The Jungle]] metaphor, I call my favorite notes the "trailheads". These are the best entrances to the jungle. They link to notes to my recent writings, notes on books and articles, and more. You'll see that some of the notes don't even have writing on the page themselves, but instead have linked references to explore. That is part of the fun of this medium! Pick any one of them - you never know where it may lead.
