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.
