Yea for low-tech!

My buddy, the Princess of Wist, says:

The coolest part of all is that with my decision to start this blog has come a renewed effort to continue the journaling on paper. Though it's a time-consuming task, I enjoy it. And, though this internet stuff is cool and all, I much prefer tape to a post button and a pen to a keyboard.

I'm right there, too, except that I never fill the journals. I just have about three thousand of them all going at the same time. I love the feel of paper under my hand, the scratch of the pen nib across the page. I love the smell of the leather journal cover my wife got me for Christmas a couple years ago. I also love the immediacy of blog, the sense of community that reading my friends' posts engenders. I think the main thing for me is to communicate, to write, to play. So shazaam.
