It's time for a new avatar. I'm thinking I should update them more frequently. Maybe yearly? Anyway, here is the new one.

It's like it's all out there. Energy, motivation, well being, creativity... You just have to put on a pair of shoes and go out and get it. That's why I run.

I just implemented support in Smart Notes for giving links a text description.
This was inspired by recent readings about concept mapping and Zettelkasten resources talking about the importance of giving context when linking two ideas.
I'm looking forward to using this to see if I find it helpful.

My website as a home (found via End of Year Hyperlink Dump) talks about a metaphor for websites:
I feel as if someone is giving me a tour of their apartment: I’m looking at the papers on his desk, the notes stuck to his fridge, an album of butterfly photos taken by his brother, and so on.
I like this metaphor, and I would like my website to feel like a home. Micro.blog makes this very easy. I can share and develop my interests. I can structure content with categories and pages. Others can come have a look. Comment if they wish. And you can see conversations that I've had with visitors.
What is Rickard working on and thinking about right now?
