Small Notes

A few sentences, a passing observation, or a thought that has not yet become an essay. There is room for those here too.

A recorder card, to catch the thought first

When an idea suddenly appears while I am doing something, I want to capture it with a recorder card first.

It suits these small, scattered notes better. I do not have to stop, find an input box, or tap a button, and typing is less likely to interrupt the thought.

When I actually want to turn the ideas into an article, I can gather the relevant recordings and sync them to my local knowledge base, then let AI find material for that particular topic. While recording, I can simply record.

Some thoughts need only a few sentences

I want my website to have somewhere for shorter thoughts too.

Some everyday observations are scattered and do not yet fit a WeChat article. I want to leave them here first. Later, when I have more to say, I can still turn them into an article.

Alongside the work and finished articles, I want the website to keep a sense of a person actually being here. A few sentences, or a thought I have not fully worked out, can stay here too.

Read a passage, then talk about it

Sometimes an article by Liu Run, or a passage in Runyu's WeChat Moments, touches something in me.

At that moment, what I most want is to paste the words into the conversation and talk right away: why did this passage move me, and how does it connect with my own experience?

I may not yet know what I want to write in the end. First, I can talk my way toward understanding. Then I can see whether it wants to remain a few sentences, become an article, or turn into a comic told through dialogue.
