Zettelkasten

German word for archive or knowledge management system

Zettelkasten

I’m going to add another level of granularity to the notes of my website: Zettelkasten. I think there’s a strong case this will improve my learning and production. Blog posts are polished, well-researched, peer-reviewed pieces that take 15-20 hours to write.

Active learning for video (Iteration)

Put your money where your mouth is and build out this prototype. This will be a YouTube video annotator. You watch a longer YouTube clip, you want to index it, get the meat out of it, so you can re-watch it yourself, or share a set of clips seamlessly to a friend.

Active learning for lectures and podcasts
