First Trial To Use Obsidian

Hey, this is my first time to integrate with Obsidian, and I’m excited to explore its features and capabilities. Obsidian is a powerful note-taking app that uses a Markdown editor and treats notes as interconnected nodes within a graph. This allows for easy linking between notes, creating a web of information that can be navigated intuitively.

Here are some initial steps and tips I plan to follow as I begin using Obsidian:

  1. Setting Up My Vault: I’ll start by creating a new vault, which is essentially a folder on my computer where all my notes will be stored. This will be the foundation of my Obsidian experience.
  2. Familiarizing with Markdown: Since Obsidian uses Markdown, I’ll brush up on Markdown syntax to make the most out of editing and formatting my notes.
  3. Creating Notes and Links: I’ll start by creating individual notes for different topics or ideas I want to explore. Then, I’ll experiment with linking these notes together to see how they connect in the graph view.
  4. Using Tags and Aliases: To organize my notes further, I’ll use tags for categorization and aliases for alternative names or titles for individual notes.
  5. Exploring Plugins: Obsidian offers various plugins that enhance functionality. I’ll explore some popular ones like Daily Notes, Calendar, or even community plugins that offer additional features.
  6. Graph View Exploration: One of the features I’m most excited about is the graph view, which visually represents how all my notes are connected. It should provide insights into relationships between different pieces of information.
  7. Customization: I’ll customize the appearance of Obsidian using themes or adjusting settings to fit my preferences for an optimal user experience.
  8. Regularly Revisiting Notes: To keep the web of knowledge dynamic, I plan to regularly revisit and update my notes as I acquire more information or insights.

By following these steps, I’m hoping to leverage the full potential of Obsidian for organizing thoughts, projects, research, or any other areas where interconnected information can be beneficial.

Linkin Park: [R]evolution

In recent months, the music world has been abuzz with discussions about Linkin Park’s future and the introduction of Emily as a new vocalist. While change can be challenging for fans, especially when it involves a beloved band like Linkin Park, the hate and criticism directed towards Emily is both unfair and unwarranted.

First and foremost, it’s crucial to understand that Emily is not a replacement for Chester Bennington. Chester, with his unique voice and powerful presence, was and always will be irreplaceable. This sentiment is shared by everyone, including the band members and Emily herself. Instead, Emily brings her artistry and talent to the table, offering a fresh perspective to Linkin Park’s evolving sound.

Mike Shinoda, the band’s founder and a key figure in its continued legacy, has been instrumental in guiding Linkin Park through this transition. His dedication to the band’s evolution demonstrates a commitment to honoring Chester’s memory while also moving forward creatively.

It’s important to note that the direction of the band is not something that should be dictated by Chester’s family or external parties. Like any artistic endeavor, the band’s evolution is a natural process that should be driven by its members. Many successful bands have continued their journeys with new members, adapting and growing along the way. Criticizing Linkin Park for doing the same is unjustified and fails to recognize the dynamic nature of music and artistry.

Some critics have attempted to discredit Emily by bringing up her alleged connections to Scientology or her relationship with Danny Masterson. However, these criticisms seem more focused on damaging her image rather than expressing genuine concern about her musical abilities or contributions to the band.

As Linkin Park embarks on this new chapter, fans need to approach the change with an open mind. Emily deserves a fair chance to showcase her talents and should not be judged solely based on not being Chester. She has the potential to bring her unique strengths to the band, helping Linkin Park thrive in a new direction while still honoring its rich history.

In conclusion, the evolution of Linkin Park with Emily should be supported rather than criticized. Change is an inevitable part of any artistic journey, and by embracing this new phase, fans have the opportunity to witness the growth of a band that has already left an indelible mark on the music industry. Let’s give Emily the chance she deserves and look forward to the new sounds and experiences that Linkin Park will bring to its devoted fanbase.

Chasing Shadows

In denial of fate’s decree,
I stumble through life’s maze.
Blind to the path set before me,
Lost in a foolish haze.

Grasping at choices not mine to make,
I reach for the forbidden fruit.
My heart, a stubborn mistake,
Trapped in endless pursuit.

Wisdom whispers, but I can’t hear,
Deafened by my own desire.
The truth, so simple and clear,
I ignore it like a dimming fire.

Oh, the folly of my ways,
To fight against the tide.
In these misguided days,
From destiny, I hide.

When will I learn to embrace,
The journey laid at my feet?
To find grace in this place,
And make my life complete.

Great Purge

Let’s say this blog has a Great Purge. I’ve decided to purge all of the content I wrote from 2004. Some rubbish and some plagiarized content should be gone.

I’m not sure what I should write on this page, but one of its purposes is to be an escape for my mind.
