This is the second part of the sequel on my way of using Evernote. The first one was about the creation of notes and the third will be about notebooks and tags and my overall approach for organising the content inside Evernote.

I tried to explain earlier how distinction brings forth meaning, and then value. Starting from distinction may seem arbitrary. Well, it is. And while it is, it is not. That wouldn’t be very difficult to show, but until then, let’s first t…
When I started my journey in the world of Semantic Web Technologies and Linked Data, I couldn’t quite get what was all that fuss about the property owl:sameAs. Later I was able to better understand the idea and appreciate it when actively using…
Why the majority of Enterprise Architects are in love with the concept of “building block”. Perhaps because blocks don’t answer back and spoil the design, Aiden Ward suggested.
