I know, I’m already doing 100 Days To Offload. And I’m on track! I’ve written 24 posts in the last two months, so I’m actually ahead! But a few days ago I found out about Blaugust, a challenge to publish daily and/or write 31 posts in the month of August.
I can’t resist the wordplay in the name!
100 Days doesn’t have any set themes, and Blaugust’s themes are optional. And apparently it’s a fairly laid-back challenge, so if I miss a day I don’t need to drop out.
So what the heck: I’ll aim for 31 posts this month and see how far I get.
Besides, it’ll help motivate me to catch up on book reviews.
As with 100 Days, for Blaugust I intend to include any new or substantially rewritten page on my site, not just the ones that show up here in the reverse-chronological feed. The way I see it, what matters is less the specifics of what counts as a blog, and more that I’m writing new stuff on a regular basis and putting it out there on my own website, not on corporate social media.
Time to start my Blaugust post list:
- This post.
- Legends of Amberland (game review)
- First the Migraine, Then the Headache
- FairEmail (app review)
- Grumbling about Planned Obsolescence
- Where to Put Your Permalink and What is
rel="bookmark"? - TIL about Hybrid MBR/GUID Partitions
- Starfleet vs. Jean Valjean?
- The Prestige
- Eulogy for the Pixel 5
- Canon Camera Connect
- To Each This World (book review)
