“Slap your adviser (and I hope, s/he slaps you back).”

2013-07-10

You do your best in writing a peer-review and then you realize that this person should have a serious conversation with his/her adviser. A very serious one. Best bring a cattle-prod.

I’m a digital squirrel — what are you?

2013-07-05

My animal totem is a crazed squirrel that went digital, and I love it. Seriously, an information infrastructure that not only works but works very well.

Warning: Do not store Circus Ponies Notebook files in DEVONthink

A comment for those seeking to use this site for personal gain: Given the increase in requests, let me be clear. I write on this blog because I want to. It’s my hobby, my playground. Sometimes people point me to interesting products/services and I write about them. But any request regarding ads or sponsored placements ends up the trash without a reply. And if you think something would be of interest, differentiate yourself from the spammers by referring to a posting — in an intelligent way. (I get enough auto-generated mails to identify them immediately.)

BTW, posts can get updated after I published them if I spot spelling errors (not a native speaker) or think a different wording might improve precision and clarity.

This blog is not focused on a single topic, or method. As long as it is relevant to improving creativity (or allowing it in the first place), it's fair game.
Some postings on this blog deal with freedom, as I think that we need freedom of thought, of speech, of association, etc. pp. to solve mankind's problems. Thus, some postings may seem a bit remote when it comes to organizing creativity. Freedom is, however, the bedrock of creativity.
The heterogeneity of the postings can make reading this blog a bit cumbersome, at least if you are only interested in one topic. You can either use the search function (above), or use the categories or the tags to narrow down the postings you see.
