On this day a year ago I wrote:

While the blog itself remains a typically chronological record, I want the whole thing to become more than just a series of posts. I want it to become a resource, a self-seeding tool for ideas and connections that presents and juxtaposes things in a way I might not normally consider; a mechanism that resurfaces buried treasure so I might have new insights.

/start has its mini threads but doesn't present them in a way that is easily consumed. I have been considering a different view there.

I have also thought about having the 'Random Post' page show two posts instead of one to see if that throws up any unexpected synchronicities. (This is now in place but I need to pretty it up a bit.)

It seems a waste to have all of this information, all of these thoughts and ideas, stashed away and not do anything with it, not to have it feed an ongoing discussion – if only with myself.

The blog is as much (if not more so) a series of notes from past and present me to future me as it is a way of sharing with others. As I've said before, I want to mix things up and try to think of new ways to present all of this.
