This went up yesterday, a newsletter issue that should live on my site (don't get me started on how best to use a newsletter in this day and age—I am pondering all the things). I fixed some things with the HTML/CSS chart I did (oh I love HTML/CSS), and how to render a link in lieu of it, in my RSS feed since they can't handle more robust markup. The answer was a filter in 11ty. Not ideal, but will suffice for now.

I’ve long contemplated this: do you see (and/or do this) the difference when perusing other’s sites and where an author makes the line between items such as essays, notes, journal, blog, etc.? In some, I can see a clear distinction between an essay and a note/journal/blog/short(?), but I’m curious how much of it matters to a reader.

I made a modus operandi page and post. Partly an explainer for some aspects of my life when it comes into conversation and partly for my own recording as my current life framework.

Thanks for writing @npub1lflg...ehf7! This was a really honest read and I love this idea that what’s recent isn’t necessarily the most interesting. That the past is something to learn from, and that a past you recorded thoughts to remember for a future you.

How many of you journal for yourself, and if it's a regular habit, in what form or format has it been successful for you? I used to journal online publicly decades ago, and have kept a handwritten journal off and on. I'm curious for those that have gone digital, what is it about it that works for you? I'm wondering whether recollection and themes become more apparent over a searchable/taggable corpus.

I had planned to write about my beloved Sony RX100M3s a few years ago, and how great cameras they are. Time and a few versions passed, I decided not to. Since shooting with an A7III for a few years plus iPhone RAW, and @npub17vj2...3y9a capturing with an RX100MVI, I’ve felt nostalgic for that form factor and remarkable quality. I’m contemplating getting one of the M3s repaired and it’s funny how I still think it’s a fantastic camera to this day. Maybe that post needs to be written after all.
