useless notes
That's it: from now on I'm typing in any sort of notes to myself, entry ideas, things I want to look at, and the like, rather than scribbling them down on paper.

This morning I was looking for the notes for my political platform. If I do not enter the presidential race soon, I might not even get two votes. That slip of paper seems to have wandered off, but in its stead was a page covered with equations of some sort, and another one with indecipherable phrases. My handwriting has been steadily degrading, but it never seemed quite so bad until I encountered something that, best as I can tell, reads:

p: X-<strikes> when proto salad (meaasn)

Great. That really helps. Given the context around it, it seems to be part of a todo list. Whatever it was, it will have to wait for some external reminder.

A culling of my slips of paper, and typing in what few legible bits remain, seems like a good task for this weekend. Just let me jot that down on my todo list...

I've started taking phone notes in textedit for that very reason.
Now, If I could only find my keys.

They're still lost? That really bites.

Perhaps my obscured note is a clue for locating them. ;-)

In principle, it should be possible to reconstruct the proto-salad by comparing the various extant salads descended from it.

Alas, if there are descendant salads, they are on other slips of paper somewhere unknown to me. These slips seem to exist in some quantum waveform, so I can only locate a subset of them at any one point in time. A concerted effort along with a high resolution digital camera might help me document all of them, but the observation might also collapse the waveform, leaving me with an incomplete set.
