my blog
i've been maintaining https://chias.blog since 2016 and it has contained a mix of reviews, journal entries, updates/process on things i've made. i never delete or archive anything and i've gained a lot from sharing here
a blog for sound
The best book is the unwritten book
The best book is the unwritten book
http://self-noise.net is a collection of field recordings and voice memos interspersed with diary entries, lectures, scans, etc. it's self-coded
brock's room diary
https://www.brocksroom.com/diary is just (like four) images/scans of diary entries on a guy's interesting website. i found out about this because he uploads rare alex g videos
a blog as a garden
honestly a blog can just be a collection of links and resources, like alex lucia's on https://cyber.nymph.garden/garden.html. i love how it's presented and bits of entries like the twitter poems section or her kaomoji list that is also just adapted from elsewhere.
music review world loves stuff like https://www.scaruffi.com/, a richly prolific self-published collection of music reviews. more than having to make a name for yourself in rate your music or some other world, it's deeply intense to have so much reviews, personal curations/takes on history & evolution of music, etc. controlled by you – and that's why it's so awe-inspiring and that's why you'd be a joke to not take him seriously
recently
another lovely, long collection of writing from a technologist at https://macwright.com/. the way people in this domain write is different: technical blog posts being commonplace means there's an encouraged practice of simply restating and re-explaining anything in the world in your own terms/words – which i think is such a key act.
bill wurtz' notebook
it begins with https://billwurtz.com/notebook.html and that's all you need. entries are dead simple one-liners like above
another semi-private form of publishing that i abandoned after a bit to just share news about my work.. a nother very interesting inhernetly multimedia platform to share on, and you can see how other people connect and build up: https://www.are.na/chia/diary-lfivm6bn5sm
tumblr blogs
they are still very good
i love this mirror of pete wentz' live journal. the one from fall out boy https://disloyalorderofpete.tumblr.com/
thanks for the catalogue of links! they are fabulous examples of the fluidity of blogging and have been added to my treasury. in fact, i've been inspired to rethink my gloomy website's design. so thanks!
ReplyDeletei loved this collection of poetry on neocities, hidden in little private worlds https://housefly.neocities.org/index.html
