This was all strangely triggered by seeing an xkdc comic.
And I thought to myself: “I’m late on this, how could I possibly go through the archive in an enjoyable way?”

A recurring solution that I’d love to somehow build/find:
A randomizer. Smart shuffle, even.
I say: I want to read more . Give me one of his best pieces once a week for the next 8 weeks.

And I could stack more rules to tune my personal algorithm to my liking.
A way to integrate the best of the past into my awareness. Regaining control of the feeds I engage with.

I get close to building concept with things like ’s smartblocks. But there’s work to be done yet.
I want this sort of thing for all domains of my life. I could like of a million use-cases.

More on this. I don’t like the intention of *read-later* it’s more like *I’m interested by this so I want to put it in a smaller place to increase my chances of seeing it again*
On this line, I want to save things and then have them randomly served back to me.

I’ve mentally circling back to ideas that feel like what Andy describes as the “mneumonic medium" for sooooo many use-cases.
Especially healthcare. I’m obsessed with how concepts of strategic resurfacing can be applied to improving the quality of care delivered.

Building on Andy’s idea of a *meditative-like practice* — I’ve envisioned these systems to be even more naturally embedded into natural activities and contexts.
Ultimately, what I want is to improve the context-content match in all aspects of my life.

Yeah, this is a tremendous weakness with my current design paradigms, and I'd really like to improve it.
I’ll be keen to watch your thoughts evolve here — and will be running alongside as long as my curious stays piqued 🤙🏼
