The most mind blowing fact I've learned so far in Roland Allen's *The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper* is that the term "commonplace" actually derives from the commonplace book (or better termed "common place book", since it was originally intended to be an organized and indexed list of material).

Apparently it became common to write or speak specifically to encourage people to put excerpts in their books, such that those sorts of passages became "commonplace". Basically early microblogging.

Is there a good #fediverse bookmarking service out there? Something similar to what del.icio.us was? Preferably not self hosted (I'm not sure I want the trouble).

@AuntyRed it really depends on what you want to do. I suspect a person could pick up basic #orgmode in a day with some focus. That would include the outlining, understanding linking and the org markup the basic date/agenda functions. It's a program you can spend your whole life tweaking, but actually sitting down and writing some notes is pretty easy.

I'd suggest going through the built in emacs tutorial and find an org tutorial and go from there.

@BroadforkForVictory I mean, once you see the head, it's quite obvious and hard to imagine it *not* being there, so it's not your fault my eyes didn't parse the photo.

But it's a good reminder that accessible design is often just good general design.
