No one blogs anymore

No one seems to blog anymore. I used to find small blogs everywhere back in the day, people documenting their day, something they learnt, or somewhere they had been. It feels like it's a lost art now.

It is (was) a Thursday evening. I was tired of watching YouTube. Everyone seems to be wanting to own part of my brain there. So I turned off the lights of my room and the only light was the small desk lamp I have. My laptop, sitting there on the desk, looked inviting to write on.

I also have this very simple desktop setup on my MacBook that just shows a clock and my text editor. If you disregard the actual contents of the editor window, it actually looks like you can write a bunch of stuff on this. It's almost zen.
