<blockquote cite="https://daringfireball.net/linked/2026/08/07/simon-willison-on-blogging"><p>Me, I try to get into the mindset of playing live music, not recording a studio album. Except when I’m writing a piece where I really want it to be an album. Those aren’t <em>rare</em>, per se, but they’re <em>occasional</em>. If I tried to make every post a hall-of-famer I’d never get anything out.</p> <p>I’m aiming for professionalism. I’m performing live in front of an audience — not just jamming in my garage or bedroom, fucking around. So I’m careful and concentrate. I want to hit every note, in time. But at my best I’m moving from song to song.</p></blockquote> <p class="cite">— <a href="https://daringfireball.net/linked/2026/08/07/simon-willison-on-blogging">John Gruber</a>, responding to my <a href="https://simonwillison.net/2026/Aug/6/simon-willison-on-technical-blogging/">blogging tips</a></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/john-gruber">john-gruber</a>, <a
