The queue is more of a scrapbook than a notebook. It’s a hopper of brain farts and observations brewing in all formats: text, images, video, and sound. It’s…
- Where ideas get stored and intermix
- Where content molds and takes shape
- Where visions incubate until the timing is ripe
- Where some concepts never the day of light
Your goal is to never let the queue go empty. You should always keep refreshing it with new content to help you sustain your thinking presence. The dull, the interesting, the ephemeral; it all goes into the Tumblr bin to age marvelously.
