Hello All,
I've been finding that the drive to write lengthy articles, rfcs and gemlogs has been keeping me from writing anything at all in my gemini capsule. Drawing inspiration from micro-blogging platforms that I use regularly I started writing gemthoughts, which are meant to be really short, simple and approachable so that I will hopefully do this more often.
I've started publishing them here:
gemini://lonelysilo.ca/gemthought
A draft description of the format with some semantics can be found here:

Cheers,
Chris

Looks neat, but what's the difference between short blog posts and gemthoughts? RDF seems to be involved, but I'm not sure what one is _supposed_ to do with things in brackets to make them actual gemthoughts.
