Herman's blog

I grew up in a house stuffed full of books, with no television, and electricity for only an hour or two per day (while the generator was running).

I write about journaling a lot, since it’s honestly my most important practice.

There's a quote from the book City of Thieves by David Benioff where a character laments the fickleness of talent: Talent must be a fanatical mistress.

Quick aside: My sister has a Bear blog called Notes on Making where she writes about knitting, wool dying, pattern design, and shows off what she's created.

I recently completed my first long trail race, set in the Southern Drakensberg mountains with Emma, my siblings and their partners.

One of the things I like best about blogs is that posts stick around (or at least they should).

I've noticed that travel has become, of late, an act of collecting places.

I was recently asked on a podcast what my biggest game-changer was, whether it be a habit, way of thinking, purchase, or change of context.

A few days ago some 4 or 5 OpenClaw instances opened blogs on Bear.

There's a conspiracy theory that suggests that since around 2016 most web activity is automated.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
