Fragment

    I got the idea for “fragments” from another programmer’s personal website. I wish I could remember the site, the owner of it posted on Hacker News and that’s when I first saw it. He described the section as a place to put small thoughts as opposed to full articles, hence a “fragment” of an article. I personally give it a more lenient definition, and open the section to pretty much anything that is tossing around in my head. Maybe it’d be more accurate to describe it as a fragment of a thought in this case. Either way I like it, reminds me of the Fragments of Heraclitus.

Sully!?

    No not Tom Hanks, I’m talking about the verb. In one of my favorite podcasts Hello Internet, Brady Haran described in an episode how he has a difficult time writing in a fresh notebook as he’s afraid to sully it. I feel the same way, whether it be my handwriting or the content itself, I’m really apprehensive about messing up a nice notebook. So as a way to avoid that I’m making this first post to lower the bar as physically possible.
