Pradeep's blog, especially its journal/diary style, has been an inspiration for me to continue learning and documenting things. I've kept going back to it over the years as a source of positive reinforcement.

Fantastic conversation between Richard Linklater and Gregg Araki "If you don’t have the human experiential element to it, like, “Oh, I looked for that album for years and then I found it at a record store,” or “we all got in a car and drove 70 miles to go to that movie that was
