The Memex Method. When your commonplace book is a public… by Cory Doctorow | Medium

Doctorow reflecting on how he things about his blog.

Like those family trip-logs, a web-log serves as more than an aide-memoire, a record that can be consulted at a later date. The very act of recording your actions and impressions is itself powerfully mnemonic, fixing the moment more durably in your memory so that it’s easier to recall in future, even if you never consult your notes.

This resonates strongly with me. I’m often searching my own blog to remember things that we did in years past. It is definitely a Memex tool.
