Weekly Notes 27/2026

I didn’t do a good job with keeping a daily note this week.

Manuel Moreale who runs a People and Blogs series had an interview with a blogger, Andy Baio whose answers really resonated with me.

He says, “I wanted a place of my own online, somewhere to experiment and write about weird corners of internet culture, online community, and copyright, as well as a sandbox for new experimental projects of my own.“

And further: “My frequency of posting has waned over the years, first cannibalized by social media and then by larger life and work stuff. I’ve recently found myself drawn back to it, posting more regularly, trying to wake those atrophied writing muscles. Even if I’ve slowed down, it’s hard to ever imagine stopping entirely.“

This could easily be me explaining my blog post writing statistics to you.

I find that people are writing on their own websites again, even if not as a blog per se. I think they want to put out their version of things themselves.

As Baio writes, “The ability to directly reach the people who care most about your work, outside of the capricious nature of social media algorithms, is essential.“

I want to invest some time in re-acquainting myself with the Bullet Journal method.

It has been raining endlessly through the weekend. It has been gloomy and there has been some water logging in the areas where I live.
