Video Note Atemporality
Dec 12, 2020
This I think is an interesting concept. This video is a summary of the book: Sterling, Bruce. “Atemporality for the creative artist.” Beyond the Beyond (2010).

Anki Memorization With Audio
Sep 12, 2020
I use Anki, after been inspired by the excellent testimonial of Michael Nielsen of Y Combinator research. I use also one Anki deck.
I have an idea for a new app: Anki with audio. Suppose, you are driving in your car and start the Anki-audio app (this has not been developped yet).

Cross Species Adoption
Apr 19, 2019

Zijn werk was erop gericht om Washoe van jongs af aan op te voeden en om haar American Sign Language (ASL) te leren. ASL is gebarentaal voor doven.
