Audio blogging to help flow

On the theme of informal blogging, I thought I would try writing posts using audio. I use Day One, which is a personal journal app, and I actually use that daily and am on a streak of nearly 1,500 days posting to it in a row. It's an app that I have on my phone and has proven to be a really easy way to make notes every day for myself. So I guess it’s similar to the type of informal blogging I was talking about the other day with both Leaflet in 2026 and Radio Userland in 2003.

On User

User experience, as tool designers imagine themselves to become the user, asks how one might be assisted in expressing inner ideas with the external tool in hand. Experience excites the body to release dopamine, to stir the sensation of purposeful control with which the user can summon satisfying artefacts (satisfying in its aesthetics, expressiveness, and quality). Therefore the process, to some degree universal, can be well defined and then commercialised. Corporations would like to propagate the term, user.

Intrinsic nature

today, i was reading a book that talked about how 六祖 became enlightened. i was inspired by the story and was enlightened (by a bit) as well and became knowing of certain things. I became in search of that intrinsic nature discussed in the story. When I asked Kagi Assistant should i search for it, i got the answer "No". it says that when one stays away from obsessive tendencies, one is one with their intrinsic nature.

The Grass Is Greener (But I'm Not Moving)

If I'm being honest with myself, the Apple ecosystem has me in a reasonably comfortable headlock — and it's not without some genuine resentment on my end.
