Forgive me for spilling my thoughts about my Traveler’s Notebook — it’s been years since I had a chance to truly talk about my analog workflows. So when Shawn thought it would be a cool contrast to the many digital knowledge workflows, I couldn’t say no. My Traveler’s Notebook is becoming one of my most-used tools and I’m not ashamed to admit it takes precedence over a variety of digital options.

I became a classical music fan in my university years and during my history-degree studies. Beethoven has always embodied the right balance of fun and depth for my audio palate. Somewhere along the line, I must have forgotten Beethoven was deaf when he created the Ninth Symphony. My mind is blown (a second time, I presume).
