Dumbledore: “I use the Pensieve. One simply siphons the excess thoughts from one’s mind, pours them into the basin, and examines them at one’s leisure. It becomes easier to spot patterns and links, you understand, when they are in this form.”
Harry: “You mean… that stuff’s your thoughts?”
Dumbledore: “Certainly.”
— Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
The title of this blog is a tribute to one of my longest guilty pleasures: Harry Potter. I was always fascinated by the idea of a device that you can use to store thoughts and memories and offload your brain. I recently realized: Isn’t this exactly what a personal blog is for? So I decided to use it as the name of yet another attempt at a non tech-related blog. I have no idea if I’ll manage to write here regularly or if it will die a slow death like my previous attempts at something similar. But I’m willing to give it another shot.
