Notes to myself
After ten years, in 2020, I decided to re-activate my blog. I started it in 2006 and stopped it in 2010. At the time, it no longer served its purpose, which was to share news and ideas on the philosophy of information. Today, a new need to fix some thoughts in writing, and "secure them with a rubber band" means that it can be revived with a new to make some notes to myself, occasionally, a bit randomly, hopefully unsystematically.
In 2022 some friends and colleagues asked me to put these “Notes to myself” in some order, and collect them in a more manageable format, so they could read them more easily. I also wanted to be able to give a couple of copies as presents. The outcome is this little volume. I hope you will enjoy it.
These notes can also be read online, at no cost. The difference is that I have eliminated some typos, changed a few sentences in an attempt to improve them, made some titles more consistent and shorter, and removed the pictures. I also ordered them in more thematic topics. But the content is the same.
Finally, they are “to myself” because they are not meant to teach anything to anyone. They are more like the sinopia of my mind.
