jouberts notebooks

taking note, a blog on taking notes and other note taking people and things. found the blog doing a search for an online text of jouberts notebooks which i had seen recently at a bookstore. joubert was a french researcher who never wrote a book but kept notes of the things he thought of and which he could of used as the materials for writing a few books, but never developed them beyond notes.

however these are not raw notes. joubert seems to have spent the time he could of been writing going over and over his collection of notes till the rough edges were worn down and the surfaces of the thoughts became somewhat polished. or this is the effect that come across in the translations into english.

taking note, notes on different note taking methods, notes on things authors have written on notes or notes on the way those authors wrote their own notes. notes on pens and pencils, the blogger has a small collection of them. notes on other things related to note taking, lap pads and old writing boxes people kept paper and pens in and could also use as a lap desk. a lot of the bloggers notes are short reviews of computer apps for taking notes.
