One of the nice things about going to my kids swim meet is that I have time to let my mind wander.

A few years ago, I came across a website called "Handwritten. blog." Sadly, it is no longer hosted but you can still see some of it on the internet archive [1].

Maybe it was because I was reading on my e-ink tablet. Or perhaps I'm just tired of my current blog design again. But why not give it a shot?

One thing is obvious, editing posts will be a nightmare. Usually I take my time and will rewrite a blog post a few times. Not gonna happen if I'm writing these out long hand. So yeah… a little unpolished it is.
