attending again to comments by jazzmasterson - his dlcs linklog:

"The ecstasy of influence: A plagiarism" by Jonathan Lethem (Harper's Magazine)
-Fascinating exploration of creativity and the ways in wh previous work gets entangled in the new. will be interesting to see how full-text search and the ease of copying & remixing plays out. I had this marked a but the int to me is more about this comment -- ease (with hypertext) of copying & remixing, exactly (when quoting blurs with when not ~ here I mostly use italics for when not but ~ distinction not sharp to me ) -- than with Lethem's.

huh actually I alrdy did note that comment in first jazzm post
and also this one that I want to again remind me of:

if:book: blogging restructures consciousness?
-This is alongside some of the ideas I've been beating around; that the act of writing and journaling, in particular, actually affects your awareness...
well the mode does. cut - paste. alt-backspace (undo). esp that one always interests me, since I believe I find myself expecting to be able to execute an Undo by thought alone of something just done ~ commuting (the expectation of) that capability from typing to ~ other physical movements huh. eg I put something over there then prefer that I had not, and I think: ok - Undo!

just now looked at his 3 pgmrks tagged @blogme including:

Frédérick Giasson's Weblog - Analog Blog - Organize your Moleskine notebook as a blog
-Blogs are modern "commonplace book"s yes yes for me that is v much what is - a hypetext note common book quotations with scribbles --a way to make sense of the world to yourself. Frederick here uses the moleskine to take lessons from the blogs and reapply them to paper. okay let's see.
hmm that link not getting me there. here go-

Analog Blog - Organize your Moleskine notebook as a blog at Frederick Giasson’s Weblog

  • A comment system is implemented for each post. (In our case, it will be your own comments on past posts.) he comments on back pages, working in so that will not run out of space for 'post' pages or for 'comment pages' one before the other. mmm will run out mutually ~
  • The posts on the blog are usually classified in categories. plus metadata written on upper rate and 'permalinks' in form of [book #: page #] which assumes you have multiple moleskine books
  • plus also upper left [date : location] This is probably one of the most important feature. With it, you'll be able to track the evolution of your thoughts. After you can optionally add the location where you write the post. It's a way to help you remember the circumstances of your writing. The mind work this way; with a simple smell, image or word you can remember a whole situation. I agree with that.
comment fr LS Russell links to his own post L. S. Russell :: The Moleskine mark-up language hack. :: December :: 2004: The Moleskine markup language is easy to learn; it consists of two directional indicators (← means continued from, while → means continued on), the page number, and the quadrant.
top/bttm works for me (rather than quadrants) but ok I see: when he says he is numbering not every page but only the right-hand pages, he does not mean he is skipping numbers: he is treating each two-page-spread as a single page with one number, four quadrants.

trackback to Analogue Journal -- murky.org : A lovely idea about using web-based techniques in an analogue world.

and follow-up On Analog Blog reactions at Frederick Giasson’s Weblog: I also want to answer to this blogger (thank for your post, it was relevant):“This strikes me as obviously silly. A blog is, and to be a blog pretty much has to be, a hypertext document displayed on a computer with an internet connection.."Who says that a link, is necessary an HTML hyperlink on internet? A link is basically a relation between two things. It can be two websites, but it can also be two train stations, two ideas...
