Yesterday, I was 100% all-in with Blot again. Today, I'm all over the map. Good morning! 👋🏻

I've been playing with my test Pika and Bear blogs but I'm not sure why. I have a lifetime subscription to Scribbles, so what's the deal? No deal, I just like to try all of them. That's why I'm here. :)

I'm going through a blogging revamp at the moment. I don't want to host and manage my own blog, so this time I'm going to try Ghost for my main blog. This leaves me without a decent place for "Daily Notes". Could Scribbles fill that role?

Today's experiment

I became so frustrated after unintentionally futzing with Obsidian this morning that I'm torching all of it and doing something different today.

Here's the gist: Bear app for notes. Day One for journaling. Scribbles for blogging.

I don't have to think about where to put stuff. I don't have to care about file names. I can use any (Apple) device to write/edit/record/post.

This obviously can't last, but right now it feels very refreshing.

So...here then?

You know what's weird? What's weird is that sometimes I feel like writing something, but, and you knew this was coming, I can't decide which blog I feel like writing it on. This happens a lot. That's not the weird part, though. The weird part is that when that happens, I often start writing on an entirely different blog. You know, like here on Scribbles. Hi! 👋🏻

Briefly, I'm here making sure I don't forget about Scribbles. It's very nice, but right now I'm already bouncing between three blogs. One more might be one too many.

Roll-142 (Leica M3/HP5)

Shot a whole roll at my parents while my grandson was visiting. Indoor photography with film and a rangefinder is tricky, but I managed to make a few that were in focus and properly exposed.
