In publishing, a colophon (/ˈkɒləfən, -fɒn/) is a brief statement containing information about the publication of a book such as an “imprint” (the place of publication, the publisher, and the date of publication). - Colophon (publishing) - Wikipedia
I use Obsidian as my digital note-taking tool for these notes.
I then build it into a static site with Quartz and published into the web, accessible at https://notes.hamatti.org.

Whether you decide to visit my site or not and what you read on my site is your business and your business only. We’re living in a world where somehow, everyone has started to feel that they have the right to know and collect everything about you and what you do. I think that’s absolutely disgusting.
I write things and publish them on the website and you can come to this website and read it. A relationship of any kind between me and you only starts if you wish to make yourself known to me by reaching out and starting a discussion. That is always recommended: the topics I write about are close to my heart and discussing them with others is something I’m always happy to do.
No AI generated content
These are my personal notes and as such, they are a tool for thinking, writing and learning. While there are great use cases for machine learning and artificial intelligence, I don’t think they’d enhance my notes.
A lot of the AI tooling I see people use (or at least talk about) in the context of notes seems to be focused on using them to skip the thinking and processing part. Writing automatic summaries of content you feed into the notes system or writing summaries from those notes to me feels like skipping the most valuable part of any notes: thinking about stuff.
If I take a blog post, feed its URL into an AI system and it writes a summary of it and stores it into my notes, I end up with a lot of notes with summaries but zero learning, zero new ideas and very few valuable notes.
