A Pinboard for the Mind. Me and Janus Design. Newer posts →. The strange case of the missing Index Card. I have told this story before, but it’s a fun bit of unexpected cultural difference. They are ubiquitous in the English speaking world. Especially in the US, I think. They are used to study (there is a whole method of study based on flashcards. They are used to jot down ideas, to organize them, to… well, to play story games, for example (writing sad things on index cards, anyone? And they are so handy!

A Pinboard for the Mind. Me and Janus Design. Art by Adam Brockman). This mighty fortress started in forgotten times as a lively city: one day the sky started cracking, as if a cut had riven its dome.

A Pinboard for the Mind. Me and Janus Design. So long, PTerry. Today, one of my favorite authors, Sir Terry Pratchett, left this ball of rock hurled into space.

Update: I got my hands on a more recent 3G key (a Vodafone Huawei K4201) a...
