+I like the concept of leaving a log of short entries on a regular basis.

+I am not so good at publishing blog posts frequently, somehow the barrier is
+too high for me.
+
+Let's try with a shorter form, and also because it's fun to explore project
+ideas.
+
+Stand-alone, short, and sweet entries following the idea of micro-blogging, but
+why follow the arbitrary limit of 136 characters? I will keep them short but
+that's because I want to.

+After a decade or two, I am back to hand-crafting an HTML page.

+I will certainly look into minimalistic CSS solutions out there. I have almost
