Each morning, I wake up not knowing how I'm going to feel about things. Will I feel like running my life on paper notebooks and index cards? Will I want to move to Linux? Will I sell all my film cameras? Do I want to live in the city or the woods? Leica or Nikon? What blog am I going to use? This seems weird to me. Do other people think this way?

All I can think about is that putting content into a Ghost database "out there" feels wrong. It's easy, pleasant, and means I can stop thinking about the mechanisms behind it all. But I kind of like thinking about the mechanisms behind it all. I like knowing where things are and what they look like. I like a local-first approach. Ghost offers little of this. Time will tell if convenience wins.
