On Digital Journaling

09 Apr, 2024

I really wanted to take to paper for my journal but I’ve been such a techno kid since my first PC in the early 90’s that it has become an extension of me in some ways. I feel more at home. I do keep paper around for scribbles and lists but my brain dump and thoughts feel much nicer stored in plain text.

I’m fascinated by artists like Eno and Bowie who took to journaling via the computer so early. Especially when everything was much more expensive and volatile (floppies, no cloud storage). Mark Burgess also got a Mac in the late 80’s and started keeping a diary which later became a book on The Chameleons.
