Not sure what’s caused the influx of followers and emails lately, but I wanted to say it’s appreciated. I will put some time aside to look at all your messages/rad websites asap.

I agree with you that all reflections are enhanced by the act of publication but not all writing reflects looking back on the early age of blogging where people would just record how their day went. You’re article Blogs as Modern Commonplace Books does a fantastic job of reminding us how blog writing has evolved…and the advantages it has over journaling for a smaller audience. Added you to my favs

Thanks, just read and enjoyed your post on the same subject. I write most every day, but deciding whether something is a personal journal entry, blog post or a full-blown essay that deserves more time can be a challenge sometimes.

I tried to do an evil run in my second playthrough of Fallout 3. During the intro, I said mean things to Amata and she got upset. I felt bad. That was the end of my evil run.

Your blurb made me laugh so I had to read it. Really good post, especially near the end.

FYI, I have been working on a longer essay 'thing' recently, but it's taking a million years to write. I'm also currently in the "I hate this and it's been a big waste of my time" part of my longform writing 'process.' So it felt good to write a little bloggy thing instead.

Love this, I might do this... Although I will have such a rough time with remembering it all! Really impressed by this. It did remind me of my post about "computer memories from 2000-2010" https://frans.today/computer-memories/ which goes into things I was doing on the internet in that timeframe.

Thanks! There’s so much I’m sure I missed with my post, but it was fun trying to find some of the obscure stuff I half-remembered.

new year holidays are the time of the thinking... now, we think: if colored lights are hanging in my room, not me, than this year was not very bad...

Cold, dishevelled and dithered: that’s Grindle season alright
as someone who watched buffy through for the first time in his twenties (my older sister sat me down and made me): i do NOT get the buffy/angel appeal. dreadful.
