The major reason I do a journal is for family and friends. Not allowed to totally drop out of sight for a month at a time. One plus is that last time, friends started forwarding the link and I eventually had ~50 people paying at least some attention. I didn't think I'd like that, but it turned out to be lots of fun getting comments from people.

Two changes: (1) I ended up spending at least a half hour per night thumb-typing on the iPhone. (2) I'd take pictures with my regular camera AND the iPhone, because only the latter pictures could be uploaded easily.

Charging the iphone was a bit of a pain because I didn't want to just leave it in the restrooms overnight. Now, however, I have a generator hub...
