“Take this quote from William Hamilton […]
We belong to opposite poles of algebra; since you… seem to consider Algebra as a ‘System of Signs and of their combinations,’ somewhat analogous to syllogisms expressed in letters; while I am never satisfied unless I think that I can look beyond or through the signs to the things signified.
You catch that? William Hamilton, who gave us our bizarro non-commutative generalization of the complex numbers, didn’t want algebra to be a science of symbols alone.
[…]
In brief: Algebra isn’t just hard for surly teens. It’s hard for anyone with an intellectual commitment to symbols having meanings.”

I want to setup a new section on my website. Currently it consists of three bloggy sections; Personal, Work & Reading.
I want to add another one that’s similar. I want to collect all sorts of drafts and progress notes and miscellanea over there.
What should I call it? other than the obvious: Stuff under the carpet?
I’m tending towards the other obvious thing, Notes & Miscellanea, but it feels long and clunky
Please help. Please boost! All suggestions welcome.
