+# Memex
+
+Taking a cue from personal sites around the web, this memex keeps unformed ideas, links and references around for me to find and use later.
+
+> Memex, a portmanteau of <em>mem</em>ory and <em>ex</em>pansion, is a hypothetical electromechanical device for interacting with documents, described in Vannevar Bush's 1945 article "As We May Think". Bush envisioned the memex as a device which individuals could use as "an enlarged intimate supplement to their memory" and "mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility".

+Writing English without _any_ of the forms of the very #to-be. I'm in two minds about this; I love the concept or avoiding accidental definitions—in particular treating oneself as objectively correct "you are tall"—but the [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime#Psychological_effects) calls out some of the criticisms, in particular that _self_ definition of identity is very important!

+
+I've been facinated by #to-be as a word since I started learning #Spanish and noticed that Ser and Estar can be used to separate out a temporary and permanent state of being; "I am sad" has an implicit temporary nature to it (rather than the permanence that can be implied with English).
+
+The [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime) article on E-Prime calls out a number of different uses of 'to be' that impressed me, as I'd not thought about how many variable uses it has!
+
+- identity (noun-phrase copula definite-noun) The cat is my only pet.
+- class membership: (definite-noun copula noun-phrase) Garfield is a cat.
+- class inclusion: (noun-phrase copula noun-phrase) A cat is an animal.
+- predication: (noun-phrase copula adjective) The cat is furry.
+- ownership: (noun-phrase copula possessive-noun) The cat is theirs.
+- auxiliary: (noun-phrase copula verb-phrase) The cat is sleeping / The cat is being bitten by the dog
+- existence: (medial-proadverb-of-location copula noun-phrase) There is a cat.
+- location: (noun-phrase copula location-phrase) The cat is nowhere to be found.
+
+The [Wictionary Post](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/be) has 23 unique uses of 'to be' in English I should read through!

+I've enjoyed thinking about this #conlang a lot! I depend a lot on phrasing things precisely to express myself — even in everyday interactions (which can get confusing & frustrating when there's no way anyone else could be aware of the nuance in my word choice…) — so Toki Pona is incredibly interesting.
+
+With only ~120 words and 14 characters it's _tiny_, and forces you to talk around

+
+There seem to be a number of fonts that people have created for the _written_ form of toki pona, like [Fairfax HD](https://www.kreativekorp.com/software/fonts/fairfaxhd/) which covers 'all the conlangs in the [registry](https://www.kreativekorp.com/ucsur/)' which will definitely be fun to play with.
