Welcome back everyone!
It’s clear to me that I have to get back in the WHV saddle, but preaching sure is easier than practising, and so I thought it might be a good idea to try and bullet-list myself back into it.
(When I say “bullet-list” I mean “helpfully named hierarchical sections”, because Emacs tends to frown quite disapprovingly at mere bullet lists. Here I am after the intention of the bullet-list, namely to just get on with it.)

Welcome back everyone!
My excuse this time for the multi-month WHV blogging hiatus is that I was dealing with prostate cancer.
I was diagnosed in February, but I wanted to wait for calmer waters before writing anything.
Extremely fortunately, those calmer waters have arrived, and now I can talk openly.
I wrote about my note-taking approach for the first time in 2016 (read for fun), and then pretty expansively about its evolved version in 2019.
In spite of the title of these posts, already in 2019 it had become more a system for personal knowledge management than just for note-taking.
Welcome to the first regular Weekly Head Voices of the year folks!

Welcome to 2023 everyone, and to the traditional yearly year transition post!

I wish all of you all of the best for this shiny new year twenty-twenty-three!
(By the way, this, the first day of the year, is the earliest that the yearly transition post has ever appeared!)
This, the quarter-thousandth edition of the Weekly Head Voices, covers two weeks from Monday November 21 to Sunday December 4, 2022.

I am happy that my ever-evolving life philosophy (as well as my approach to health and wellness) includes a growing section on the importance of hard and challenging work with great colleagues, because these past few weeks have really been delivering in that respect.
Welcome to WHV #249, covering the two weeks from Monday November 7 to Sunday November 20, 2022.

A week or two ago, I was still chatting with friends about how to respond to the currently in-progress Twitter Muskification.
Welcome back everyone to this completely normal and of course utterly on-time edition of the WHV which spans (checks notes…) the one (1) week from Monday October 31 to Sunday November 6, 2022.

(Yes, I am a little bit excited that for once this post is technically on time enough to cover only that one week. Of course what’s in the post does not necessarily have to do anything with the events that transpired in that week, but we won’t let that keep us from this little punctuality celebration.)
Welcome back friends!
This post attempts to cover the longer thann normal period of time from Monday September 26 to Sunday October 30, 2022.
Figure 1: This is what the view looks like just after a lunch at Pearl View Guest House, which itself with spectacular views.
This, the 246th edition of the WHV, looks back at the longer-than-expected stretch of time between Monday August 8 and Sunday September 25 of the year 2022.

The later I get, the more difficult it becomes to put these things out.
