If you blogged here, you’d be home by now.

Except that this is not a blog. Because weblogs facilitate a kind of conversation - even more, a collaboration - between the blogger and visitors from the larger world, and Waveflux does not converse. Nor does it willingly collaborate. It’s stubborn that way, and somewhat lazy.

This is an online journal, but I tend to think of it more as an electronic scratch pad, really. A digital commonplace. A virtual notebook. Perhaps even the Platonic ideal of a notebook.

Framed like that, it actually sounds pretty cool.
