This morning I came across this site, a blog where each entry is a scanned-in picture of a handwritten statement.

I write occasionally about the tension between my digital journal and my paper journal. The above blog's journal-keeping method seems like an interesting compromise. More of the writer's personality shows because we can see quirks in handwriting and illustrations along with the actual entries. But on the other hand, virtually all of my lj content is public (I have a big mouth), while my paper journal is 99.9 per cent private (to the best of my knowledge; the most perfidious betrayal of my trust would be opening it). On one of the lj communities, someone commented that in reality, electronic journals are much more secure than paper ones, and yet they remain in my mind so much less personal.

i often wish i had a wacom tablet, and an abiltiy to draw.
one of ht eeffects of this wish would be a quasi-non-fiction sort of web comic that would take the place of some of my posts.
kind of like [livejournal.com profile] normallife, but, you know, different.
(an unintended benefit would be that i post a lot less HA!)

A tablet would definitely be handy. And I could definitely see how some of your posts would lend themselves to comic form more readily. That would also create some good overlap with having some delicious cake and planes and snakes.
