Howdy, this personal knowledge management (PKM) system is a place for me to collect my notes, thoughts, and reflections over time. My objective is to save as much of my miscellaneous knowledge as I can so that it's easy to find and linkable - both between notes and available to other people. I don't have the best memory and the more I can offload, the better I feel; we'll see if it's truly useful in the future.
Another benefit of the tool stems from the fact that I’m a non-linear thinker and often have fleeting ideas or tangential questions so I often use my PKM as a dumping ground for those topics to come back to in the future. The faster I can get them out of my head, the easier I find it to focus on the task at hand. The bulk of this vault is filled with [[Daily Note|daily notes]] that form a log of my days, as a way to remember and to stub out topics.
I’m not aiming to write a book or solve all the worlds problems, this is simply a record of/copy of my brain for the future.
You're seeing a subset of the published files here, my full vault is about 3,000 pages.
I use [[KB/Personal Infrastructure/Obsidian|Obsidian]] because it's vanilla Markdown as it's base and when writing, but has great multi-device sync.

## Media Logs
I'm trying a new mechanism of keeping a log of media that I consume which is either extremely high calorie or extremely high fat; content that I get good value out of watching or content that's entirely worthless. Mid content doesn't get logged.

## Bets
Some bets/hunches I've had
### 2023
#### Q3
- 2023-07-31; The platform formerly known as Twitter will change the primary domain to x.com and break a bunch of Twitter.com permalinks.
- [[August 12th, 2024]] This didn't happen, it seemed to work decently!
### 2024
#### Q2
- 2023-07-31; Apple creates (published or leaked) an offer to buy Disney Studios
- [[August 12th, 2024]] This one never happened. I had decent confidence in it because of the slip in revenue. However, we're seeing them crank up subscription fees - both are drunk on subscriptions.
#### Q3
- 2023-07-31; A24's move to grant the writer union demands means it is the dominant studio of the Summer 2024 movie season
