It's not incredibly pretty, but I've been reading it more or less this way for 11 years and it's quite functional! This page is formatted in your browser using vim's ':TOhtml' command and a little bit of Python magic. If you encounter an idea in here, you can safely assume that I find it interesting (or did at the time I originally recorded it), but not that it perfectly aligns with my opinions. I don't save only things that I agree with. If I've published something you don't think should be public, please email and I'll look at taking it out. I try to be conservative about what I make public, particularly when it involves quoting people who aren't public figures, so as not to risk landing unflattering information on anybody's Google search results, but in a 500,000-word document I'd be surprised if I haven't misclassified an entry or two. You may notice that the numbers are not in neat sequence - that's because those missing entries are not for public consumption. If you don't jump there, sorry, that entry isn't public (see below). If you found a reference to an individual entry in here somewhere else, which in my writings typically looks something like "RT 5995", you can type '#5995' as an anchor at the end of the URL to jump there. You may wish to read this page from bottom to top - that way, you'll start with the items that are most relevant in today's context. I've been writing in Random Thoughts since October 2009, when I was a freshman in high school. I'm Soren Bjornstad, a software developer, tech thinker, writer, and information systems designer. You can read more about Random Thoughts in my Zettelkasten. It's similar to the old idea of a commonplace book.


Random Thoughts – Soren is the public portion of *Random Thoughts*, a giant text file of quotations, stories, mini-essays, and anything else that was on my mind that I didn't have a good place to put.
