When I adopted my dog, I was living alone and knew that he'd be in danger if anything happened to me (e.g., hit by bus), as it might take a few days for anyone to notice.
To handle such a scenario, I built a service to check on me and notify my contacts if I went missing. i.e., a "Dead Man's Switch".
Danny! We worked together at BB :) I especially like,
"I don't claim to actually know all that much, but everyone has something worth sharing."
I've resisted blogging for a long time for fear of not having anything to talk about, but couching it as "sharing" feels like a much better (more generous, more motivating) POV.
If you aren't currently using any "knowledge management" software, you may want to check out Obsidian or Roam Research. I bet you'd get a lot out of it.
Love it. One suggestion - make it so it either copies to your clipboard when you click a color, or add an explicit "copy" button so it's easier to grab the name.
But awesome stuff - the color wheel looks so cool.
