Very fascinating, a static file blog backed by git is powerful, back by github
would allow for a lot of features. I can see the power I get with editing code
easily applied to writing with the same usability I get from WordPress or
something similar.

Off topic, but I noticed in your post you said:

> but I liked the idea of keeping an “engineering notebook” as I work.

I've created a site Labradoc
(<[http://www.labradoc.com/>](http://www.labradoc.com/>)) that is a low
friction way to keep an engineering notebook (or as I call it--a project log).
For me it makes a huge difference in being able to keep track of multiple side
projects.

You might like to try it out.

Also, thanks for the pointer to the Javascript Markdown parser "Showdown"--
I've been wanting to get a Markdown live-preview working for Labradoc and that
seems like it could do the job. :)
