I maintain a couple of personal websites, that aren't just "portfolio of work", that are my day-to-day stream of consciousness thoughts about things. I've maintained at least one diary-like personal website since 1992-ish or 1993-ish when domains could only be registered with one company, and cost a couple of hundred dollars, and you had to talk to someone on the telephone to get one. I post about one thought a day, sometimes two! And I've taken a lot of my "one thought a day" notes from physical notebooks and transcribed them to my website, along with photos of the notebook page. My collected thoughts go back to 1973 or so. As a kid I didn't read or write too well, but I had a tape recorder where I thought my thoughts (I had the idea from a Dr Seuss book as I recall). I can listen to six year old me thinking about things like how airplanes fly and why would a cup made of stone float in water and realise just how dumb I was as I thought about how these things work. But it is also interesting to look back and go "wow! that's me! That's my thoughts and my voice and my notes!" What helps with the writing is that I am under no allusions as to ever making any kind of profit or being popular. It truly is "just for me." Welcome to the end of the age of forgetting.
