- Hide tags with [[css/minimal]]
    - ```css

    #min-title = hides the page reference link / page title
    #min-con = hides the contextual reference information (breadcrumbs)
    #minimal = hides both the title and the context
    #min-q = hides the query string, similar to legacy behavior
    #min-all = hides everything — title, context, and query string

- In general, the values are pretty consistent with my personal values and my strong personal reason for wanting to join Minerva, and excitement at working there. 
- One story that comes to mind is that I have a strong belief that more flexible collaboration scripts, breakout configurations etc (jigsaw, single-person breakouts, more flexible breakout tools like some of the things that have been iFramed during this course, etc) would be helpful, and wanted to do some experiments - however I admit that the experiments were more to "convince" others about why this would be great. When I was confronted with the need to design these experiments carefully to answer meaningful questions, I struggled with defining the relevant indicators, and have to this date not run the experiments.
- This is perhap partially a reflection on a personal failing, but in general I feel that Minerva is not bold enough at iterating, experimenting and driving forwards its pedagogy and technology. We are so far ahead of others (this is pa

  - 1/ This morning was going to be dedicated to creating a course outline, but when I jotted down some additional ideas they just kept coming, so I accepted that I'm still in "ideation" mode and...
  - 2/ ...spent most of the morning just sitting with pen and paper, taking notes as the thoughts formed, then sat in silence, eyes closed or staring out the window, sometimes for minutes, waiting.
  - 3/ Then another idea would come, often spawning related idea or resulting in mini-synthesis, idea alchemy with what I previously noted, or what I already know. I could almost watch my thoughts form.
  - 4/ I've been using some of the lockdown time to start importing many of my notes into @RoamResearch and have been re-reading, tagging, highlighting, culling much of it. This includes notes on courses I've taught, and going through all this
