I do! I started one in the summer of 2013. I originally started it as a way to aggregate links & helpful information for my game development endeavors, but it eventually evolved into more of a recounting of what I did or how I was feeling on a particular day. I now have daily entries for the entire time period since I started it, and I consider my journal to be one of my most treasured possessions. Sometimes I'll get busy and not add entires for a few days at a time, but I always go back and at least put a one-liner of why I was too busy to write anything.
I've found it to be a slightly more structured & useful way to essentially interact with my own brain -- it's a place for me to vent, a place to record not-so-important but still fun-to-have memories, to keep notes & sort out plans for the future.
It's a lot of fun to be able to scroll back and say "hey, what did we do for my birthday three years ago?" :) It's also fun at times like new year's to flip back through my journal and remind everyone what they listed for a resolution last year.
