A Small Alteration

I’ve changed the top strap on the website. 18 months ago, it just read “storytelling, culture and knowledge work.” Around the start of the year, I appended “a writer’s notebook” to that. On Sunday, I cut “storytelling, culture and knowledge work.”

The original top strap was a reminder to myself that this isn’t a private notebook, and people can read over my shoulder, and that there was a point to my collections here. Now, it feels like it’s getting in the way of what the place wants to be, and the shapes of my days are distorting around it a little bit. So I’m going to try just letting it be what it wants to be for a while.

Vaguely related: I often think about Marc Weidenbaum’s “scratchpad” practise:

I do this manually each Saturday, usually in the morning over coffee: collating most of the little comments I’ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad, during the preceding week.

I’m curious as to how to adapt that without using social media.

Here we go again.
