A Sub-letter
Sub-letter Dear reader, I sat down at a café the other day. I like to do this in my free time, either to read or to write. It gets my brain juices flowing. Sometimes you have to get out of your house, you know? Unfortunately, this week, I had forgotten to take any form of…

Letter 1: Daily Dispatch
I’m taking a cue from two influences today: Scott Scheper (the man who is revitalizing the Zettelkasten with his ideas about the ANTINET) in the idea of letters as a way to blog, and that of Austin Kleon’s concept of the daily dispatch as a means of showing your work.
