well i guess since microblogging seems to be a collectively failed social experiment we might as well make one step backwards in technological time and try this out. idk what i'll really be posting here. maybe work logs, maybe stupid jokes that i have no other outlet for. who knows! i do like the idea of being able to wikilink to relevant works and observations within my own blog posts and have citations of sort for additional context.
