  • I do both, and it’s heavily dependent on what the purpose of the note is for.

    I keep a yellow legal pad and mechanical pen. Stuff that goes on the pad are usually the ultimate in throwaway notes. Scribbles that are wholly transitory.

    Then I have a digital note management system (Obsidian.md) and use it to maintain a personal journal and Zettelkasten.

    Some yellow pad notes might flow into Obsidian, but not always.





  • You may (or may not) be surprised to learn that modern jet liners have much higher glide ratios than small planes (like a Cessna 172), though even the glide ratio of a Cessna is pretty damn good at about 9:1, getting 9,000 feet horizontally for every 1,000 feet of altitude.

    All pilots are trained in engine-out procedures as part of their license training and, while unequivocally an emergency condition, is fairly benign until it’s time to land—preferably on a suitable landing surface.

    Face your fear and go on a discovery flight with a flight instructor at your local municipal airport.
