		<description>@Randy: you&#039;re totally right

For those of you with iPhones, I just came across this really great app called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.momentoapp.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Momento&lt;/a&gt;, which aggregates your Twitter feed, your Flickr, your Facebook, and your Last.FM tracks into a journal-type of layout.

Here&#039;s my page from today:

&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.austinkleon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/photo.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;momento app&quot; /&gt;

You can also, of course, add manual notes. It&#039;s $2.99 right now.

I think I&#039;m going to use it as a kind of digital companion to my logbook!</description>

		<description>That&#039;s a really terrific point, Randy. But, if I want to be well-regarded by my offspring, maybe I should black out a few entries... :-)</description>

		<description>This is a good practice for you, but it&#039;s a valuable family artifact for your descendants. The one&#039;s my great-great grandfather kept are a wonderful look into his daily life and a snapshot of other family members - who otherwise I might only know as a name on a family tree with born and died dates.

I&#039;ve kept them on and off for over thirty years. Thanks for the nice reminder to keep it up!</description>

		<description>I forgot to mention that I moved all of my &quot;future&quot; calendar over to Google Calendar, synced up on my iPhone. Nice digital / paper divide.</description>

		<description>I almost always journal my times traveling and hiking, but it took me a while to convert to everyday logging. I think it started when I realized I was (semi-obsessively) adding things to Google Calendar after the fact. Times locations people -- &quot;so that&#039;s what I did last weekend&quot;-type stuff. I finally put 2 and 2 together and converted to paper. I hope it lasts.</description>

		<description>Thanks, y&#039;all. 

@Bonnie - Did you know that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,659577,00.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Umberto Eco has a whole book out about lists?&lt;/a&gt; A little bit from that interview:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The list is the origin of culture. It&#039;s part of the history of art and literature. What does culture want? To make infinity comprehensible. It also wants to create order -- not always, but often. And how, as a human being, does one face infinity? How does one attempt to grasp the incomprehensible? Through lists, through catalogs, through collections in museums and through encyclopedias and dictionaries. There is an allure to enumerating how many women Don Giovanni slept with: It was 2,063, at least according to Mozart&#039;s librettist, Lorenzo da Ponte. We also have completely practical lists -- the shopping list, the will, the menu -- that are also cultural achievements in their own right.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wherever you look in cultural history, you will find lists. In fact, there is a dizzying array: lists of saints, armies and medicinal plants, or of treasures and book titles. Think of the nature collections of the 16th century. My novels, by the way, are full of lists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I like your idea about just posting images of your lists. A Twitter follower of mine recently pointed out the existence of &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typecasting_%28blogging%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;typecast blogs&lt;/a&gt;&quot;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;A typecast (blogging) (a.k.a. typecasting or typecasting blog) is a form of blogging by media type and publishing in the format of a blog, but differentiated by the predominant use of and focus on text created with a typewriter and then scanned rather than text entered directly into a computer. Typecasting (the action of posting scanned typewritten images to a typecasting blog) is still a relatively rare form of a media type blog similar to vblog and photoblogs.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
