Good blogging

Here is Tom MacWright with a roundup of his per­sonal tools. The system called Ham­mer­spoon is new to me, and it looks very interesting!

Here is an inter­view with Matt Webb on the sub­ject of how and why to blog — characteristically dense with imag­i­na­tion and insight.

Here is Alan Jacobs on the hand­writing of Dorothy Sayers:

When she is going through harder times, through romantic dis­ap­point­ments or voca­tional uncer­tain­ties or just plain poverty, her hand­writing is neater, more uniform, more under control. I wouldn’t be sur­prised if her par­ents could tell her frame of mind just from looking at a page of one of her letters, before they had read even a word of it.

Alan’s post includes sev­eral lovely images — they make me want to write a letter. I do write by hand often, but almost exclu­sively for my own use, e.g. jotted notes.
