Right now, I'm blogging every week under `weaknotes`. These blog posts are short and personal and primarily for me. They are where I put things I would have put on Twitter before I stopped writing things on Twitter. You can see my weaknotes archive here.

I also sew my own clothes. You can see all my sewing posts here

Less frequently I write blog posts about things. You can see all of those posts in the other writing archive here.
