+title: "Introducing Discord Server"
+---
+
+I've started a [Discord server](https://discord.gg/p9WFChR9gK)!
+This is a place for more group setting conversation. I have found Discord as a much easier way to interact with people, which I wish was more the case of other social media. The real-time nature of old-school IRC mixed with modern features allows us to make fun, creative conversation. Just abide by the code of conduct of being respectful. With anything, moderation is the key.
+
+Enjoy!

+### Music
+
+My friend and I create playlists for recapping the year. My specific rules for this playlist is to have it be at most 90 minutes, which is the length of this CD. And this has to have been released in 2024. There's a few gotchas, such as re-issues, re-releases, remixes, etc. I try to make it generally the original release, but that doesn't always workout. And sometimes I want to change the list after the end of the year.

+### In the margins of books
+
+In the book on how to read a book (Mortimer and Alder), here's some strategies they employ:
+
+1. _Underlining_ - For me, it's highlighting the lines that resonate with me
+2. _Vertical lines at the margin_ - Honestly, this isn't something I run into for underlining a multi-line passage because highlighting using a digital book is a lot easier
+3. _Star, asterisk, or other doodad at the margin_ - This is the step after highlighting to determine which pieces of highlights continue to resonate after the first insight.
+4. _Numbers in the margin_ - Originally to indicate the sequence in which an argument is developed, might be a good notation for anything subsequent enforcing an argument.
+5. _Numbers of other pages in the margin_ - This is making reference to another highlight. Some people use `Cf` to be a "compare from". It's a reference mark.
+6. _Circling of key words or phrases_ - This serves much the same function as underlining.
+7. _Writing in the margin, or at the top or bottom of the page_ - the words or notes around the books. This could be questions and answers (like Oxford notes), the major points, reflections, related to other pieces of writing.
