Philosophy Mondays: Human-AI Collaboration
Today's Philosophy Monday is an important interlude. I want to reveal that I have not been writing the posts in this series entirely by myself. Instead I have been working with Claude, not just for the graphic illustrations, but also for the text. My method has been to write a rough draft and then ask Claude for improvement suggestions. I will expand this collaboration to other intelligences going forward, including open source models such as Llama and DeepSeek. I will also explore other moda...

Web3/Crypto: Why Bother?
One thing that keeps surprising me is how quite a few people see absolutely nothing redeeming in web3 (née crypto). Maybe this is their genuine belief. Maybe it is a reaction to the extreme boosterism of some proponents who present web3 as bringing about a libertarian nirvana. From early on I have tried to provide a more rounded perspective, pointing to both the good and the bad that can come from it as in my talks at the Blockstack Summits. Today, however, I want to attempt to provide a coge...

So I am finally midstream in migrating off Exchange and onto Google. Email - check (gmail). Contacts - check (google contacts). Calendar - check (gcal). Notes - what no Google notes? Huh? I may be overlooking something obvious here, but it doesn’t seem as if Google has a direct equivalent of notes.
Now as it happens, I use notes a lot. For instance, I keep a running list of ideas for blog posts as a note. I have notes for each portfolio company. There are notes for travel destinations. In general I put anything there for which a traditional document would be total overkill. I love that my notes are fully local (eg edit in subway) but also synched to the cloud, so it doesn’t matter if I drop my device – all those little thoughts are well protected.
I am looking for suggestions for alternatives that meet the same criteria: notes that are super easy and fast to use, stored locally on device, and synched to the cloud. Must run on Android and Blackberry support would be really sweet. One of my goals with switching to all Google is to be able to try out many devices easily and simultaneously! Would be quite ironic if notes (the easiest to build) were the hardest to get. Will try out Evernote for sure but would appreciate other recommendations.
