Someone I know well once reported something he learned from his father:
Many years ago, our father would tell us that you don't truly have a thought until you have been able to write it down.I'm not sure that's an overly original thought (and strangely, in this case it seems to have been transmitted by word of mouth rather than in writing) but it's definitely one that's accompanied me through a wide variety of settings. It would be fair to say that my continual and ongoing writing of the Boidem is my only occasionally successful attempt to make sense of my/our encounter with digitality.
