For the past four days I have marked the beginning and end of my day by writing in my journal. This is the first time I have ever done so.
Five days ago Patrick Rhone wrote about Journal Day, on The Cramped. I did not partake on that day, however I know I will next year. 📔
Work for @TIL 2.0 continues and I am looking forward to talking about it closer to the release date. This includes details about my delayed progress (hint: it’s been a summer).
Meanwhile, I have updated the Funding page with links, information, and improved language.

The whole comment is worth watching. Two minutes of a point well made.
TIL that Basecamp made their editor available as open source.
Just fucking do it.
