Welcome to the smidgeon stream. This is a new kind of content on the Digital Garden Ecosystem . One that was overdue. They’re called smidgeons. Teeny, tiny entries. The kinds of things I used to put in Tweets, before Twitter died a terrible death.

Most are only a few sentences long. They’re mainly links to notable things – good articles, papers, and ideas. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, but a recent migration to Astro suddenly made it much easier.

These brief observations fit into a broader pattern of [[Cross-Pollination in Digital Systems]] - small insights that can spark larger connections. Like Musical Journaling as Creative Practice Pattern , smidgeons capture fleeting thoughts before they disappear, creating a repository of micro-observations that can later be assembled into more substantial ideas.
