Memories

I walked along those memories of wood
Stretching farther on the roads than they should

Memories which clouded the happiness of today
And filled my mind with bitter sweet decay

Such decay of people I haven't long spoken
Yet whose remembrance I have,  unbroken

Where two roads diverged in the woods one day,
I chose the one I had travelled to the Past's bay

Not remembering the importance of now
I walked along a path which had faded away somehow

I was seized by its sadness, yet the thoughts never ceased
I was seized by the memories, my own pitying disease

Even my dreams, whose nights over due
Managed to fill me with ever-hardened rue

And hence I live on, in a world full of twos'
One the present, and the past which couldn't do

How to: Personal Knowledge Management

Note Taking, Writing Better, and Building a Knowledge Base And a review of the book "How to Take Smart Notes: One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning and Thinking – for Students, Academics and Nonfiction Book Writers" by Sönke Ahrens. Context Last year, I read a book called "How to Take Smart Notes: One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning, and Thinking – for Students, Academics and Nonfiction Book Writers" by Sönke Ahrens to improve my writing and notetaking skills.

How to: Quantum

As a continuation of the last post ( Newer Horizons Indeed ), this post will serve as a list of resources that are useful to study the basics of Quantum Computing, a few events that I personally enjoy tuning in to, and a general update about the Qiskit Summer School and the Qiskit Advocate Program. Resources for Learning These articles are a cornucopia of wonderful resources (such as  John Preskill's lecture notes ) on how to get started with Quantum Computing, developing a better understanding of Quantum Mechanics, as well as some resources for pre-undergrad (so mainly highschool-level) material for students to follow. Learning Quantum Computing Entry Points for Learning Quantum Computing The following resources are ones that I have used (before I'd come across the aforementioned articles, thanks to my mentor): Quantum Computing for the Very Curious  by Andy Matuschak and Michael Nielsen It's perhaps the most unconventional "textbook" I've ever used.

Poor Richard's Journal

Fill me with your words and dreams Tell me the secrets you want to scream Write in me about what you'd like to  know Draw me those places you'd want to go Let's traverse your mind, you and I Pen those scary thoughts; as I bleed and you cry Turn the page and forget them still Those memories you've buried under the mill Of your head where such thoughts are ground Into mere ink on paper browned Come later and see the story unfold A great story indeed, this story untold
