The day gets kind of gooey after 1, 2, when I was rechecking full manual mode on my Canon T90. When on manual mode, FD lenses and the camera suggest a precise F-stop to turn to. On stopped-down metering, the camera suggests opening/closing the aperture, and gives two small o's when I hit correct exposure. Pretty nifty! Used a little more Twitter than I'd liked but it's getting better. Around 10 or so I got a little bit of clarity and energy to add some notes into my slipbox. Instead of reading another research paper I would try adding things from my school's course outline and learning outcomes. I do need to build a larger context to stage my interests. I thought I would only get 1 or 2 index cards in but I think I added 10 or 11 new ones. I never realized just how SLOW it is to write alphanumeric codes because I have to consider the semantic meaning of individual cards before placing it under top-level topics. The index massively helps but it's still slow. Now I'm not going to burn my slipbox or anything but I'm not sure the tactility really counts if it takes so much overhead to index this all myself. Do I really remember my handwritten cards more than my digital notes? Not to mention that I'm immune to collectors fallacy -- my salience filters and forgetting are very very good.
