Things I have learnt today

[triskellian]

• Taking lecture notes on my eeeeee is better than taking pen-and-paper notes because:
  • My hand doesn't hurt afterwards
  • I take more notes
  • The notes I take are better
  • I'm more inclined to go through them and clean them up afterwards, because:
    • It is possible to clean them up without having to completely rewrite them
  • Cleaning them up means I reread them
  • Rereading them means I'm more likely to understand and remember them
  • I can be certain I'll be able to read them in the future

Also some stuff about Mary Wollstonecraft, John Stuart Mill* and Sojourner Truth, and the political situation they were operating in.

*...of his own free will, on half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.

Bleeee! Massive cognitive dissonance! Tech and lectures in the same place? No, no, no. That would be like Choppers and mobile phones. Or Corona and Kettle Chips.

I know, it's strange, isn't it? But then, I'm feeling like that about most of my life at the moment. I'm a one-woman window into the mid-nineties!
