Blobs of color.

Organizing info.

'Report' entries now include very brief—perhaps just a 'yes, that short' single sentence—entries.

These 'mini-reports' are somewhat pretentiously denoted as 'infopoints' and, in an effort to explain just what-the-hell we're doing, begin with the tag 'IP]' to reference this explanation.

Including one-liners is something we've been wanting to do but have thus far held back because of the time/effort required to source individual accompanying graphics.

In one of those light bulb moments, we today realized we could loosely categorize such entries and grab some basic icons to use for each category and thus save time/effort whilst still maintaining the graphic hooks.

Currently, and it'll almost certainly change, we're experimenting with:

Things to do. Smart stuff to embrace.

Things not to do. Dumb things to avoid.

Questions. Musings, either genuine or thinly-veiled proselytizing.

Exclamations. Rants and mild surprise.

Information. Useful clue-yourself-in stuff.

Quotes. Essential for all those Jerry Garcia and Hunter S one-liners.

Miscellaneous links. Sites etcetera worth a look.

Downloads. Usually a free pdf or something similar.

Tools. Online services etcetera which help do good stuff better.

Stuff to listen to and/or watch. The de-rigeur YouTube and podcast stuff.

For starters, we're using odd & unmatched icons. When we've firmed-up, we'll get a decent set sorted.

Of course the whole thing's vaguely reminiscent of Tumblr.
