Anti-layout?
With a white background, default typeface and default link colors, there
isn't much technology involved in determining the appearance of these pages. Other
than the occasional graphic, indented text and a change in text size is about
all the coding that's called for. Except of course links, but the coding of these
as well is very simple.
Keeping track of the various items that I want
to link to, moving snippets of text from one page to another in order to compliment
the flow of the ideas being presented, isn't a particularly formidable technological
task either. But ideas present themselves in numerous sizes and styles. Sometimes
it's a short quote from a page I've read, sometimes the entire page - which I
may choose to quote in its entirety, or simply make a note of the link. Sometimes
it's a thought that leaps out at me in complete sentences while at other times
it's only a tiny lightbulb that momentarily flashes and is converted into three
or four words that hopefully will (to mix my metaphors) get fleshed out later.
Here the technology definitely plays an important role, because each of these "sometimes"
has a different preferable way of being saved and/or remembered and/or taken note
of.
