🔗 Robin Rendle: The Notebook:

But Roland’s book reminds me of something else: that blogging isn’t new, either. It’s an old practice, ancient even. In every page of Roland’s book there’s sailors blogging in their journals at sea, da Vinci blogging about eyeballs, or Venetian merchants blogging about their finances. All of it is about self-improvement in some form or another. And not the tacky bullshit self-help style of improvement but tangible, real progress: noticing things, being curious about the world around you, etc. etc. Pointing at things and saying you love them.

👆 Love this.
