reMarkable tools for remarkable fools

The toy that doesn't

Drafts of The Remarkable Foolsletter are written on the reMarkable 2 tablet.

It’s a remarkably foolish device.

It’s great because it doesn’t.

It doesn’t connect to the internet

It doesn’t ring or buzz

It doesn’t interrupt.

It doesn’t let me throw away my ideas.

It doesn’t cack it’s battery very quickly

It doesn’t feel like writing on a screen.

In fact, it feels so much like paper, I would sometimes cram
bend
and gggggggggggggggglllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

strain to be more ‘efficient’ with my use of ‘the page’.

I spent too much time leaving ideas on pizza boxes and bar coasters. Things were out of place and made little sense to anyone who encountered them.

Now, my ideas have a home. What’s more, they have space.

Infinite space.

I’ve stopped trying to cram things in.

I’m embracing this infinite space.

It’s a hug.

Like a hug.

Only super big.

And your arms?

Too short.
