After reading this post on canonical address books by @annahavron, it occurred to me that something like a physical record of important information that could be referenced by someone upon our deaths would be a great idea. I mentioned this to my wife Rachel and she said she saw somethin... jabel.blog

@jabel @annahavron I just ordered a cooy of this for myself. And I suggested to my sister, who did a TED talk on A Good End of Life, that she should create a workbook like this.

@jabel ah, this is good! I have a document that I update with financial and account information. I print a couple times a year as well. I imagine that isn’t as complete as something like this book, though. I suppose I could always add my preferred funeral music to the document, though!

@jabel @bjhess @jean Putting in funeral preferences is very helpful. You all inspired me to write this post, because this is a topic I engage with regularly in my job Hey, Let's Talk About Death

@annahavron Have you seen this article about a Torah training software program that is slowly disappearing because it seems the source code has been lost with the developer's death? Very sad. h/t @jsonbecker

@jean No! That's a shame.... but not uncommon with software designed for religious communities though. You get people with high passion for the topic, who put a ton of work into their projects, and eager users who are nevertheless under non-profit budget constraints... I can name two more wonderful scholarly projects like that which I depended on, that are just gone now.
