¬ just serendipity 🍀 (not just serendipity)

I was looking forward to drafting a long document in LaTeX via LyX.

But then the printer refused to connect to Wi-Fi. There was not enough time to fix it.

So I wrote a manuscript on paper. It is like magic…writing with a pen. Slowly. Technology, in the last couple of years, has made me lose the sense of pleasure in doing so.

Surely there’s no erase feature but, somehow, my mind feels intrinsically connected with the paper. The ink, as it flows, relieves tension and retains intent.

None of it was intentional though. LaTeX is my favorite digital way to feel intimate with virtual fonts and pixels. And it’s faster to type in a keyboard than to write with a pen.
