    1. I still like the idea of getting into a habit of writing posts in a specific format but have also come to terms with the fact that I just enjoy blogging more when it’s a little bit more spontaneous.

      i've been semi intending to write a week oriented personal data project for a while. and yes the classic weekly newsletter, with some recaps & general scene-setting, place-finding, backgrounding about where we are/i am.

      i like this proposition a lot though, of not trying to bind oneself. thinking of that as antethical to a certain spirit of chance.

      but i do value the practice of reminding, of thinking & distilling what has, of reflecting on here, of thinking forward. the steps. snapshotting our OODA loops, seeing them spiral on.

      so how about this? a "days since recap" service, that aggregates all your traffic & that you can use to surface & note on, & then you just annotate or pick out pieces of that service. you kind of build a running notes, then annotate atop with longer form content, or synergize. or filter, drop candiates to distill down. i'm trying to think of a web model, an annotative model, for how else we might serve a week-notes like idea, but more hyper-mediumed.
