When somebody asks you, “what are you thinking about these days?” wouldn’t it be nice to just hand them a “thought” they can load into their own head, rewind, rethink, and extend for themselves?
This is really the problem I’m working on these days: portable thought streams

It's nice that you have friends who like to ask what you are thinking about, that you have pleased them with describing your thoughts, to where they want more. Also, you just described a zine. Print zines, carry them, hand them out.

What can print zines do on this front that blogs don’t do much better? I genuinely don’t get the appeal.

"wouldn’t it be nice to just hand them a “thought”" you wrote. Presumably a hard copy of your latest blog entry would do swimmingly.

yeah, you could carry around a beam and whack people with it when they enquire as to your latest musings, see how that goes #LART

Hmm. I’m intrigued now. Good examples of this sort of zine? I might actually do this.
At conferences I used to seek serendipity through technology thusly: divide a normal sheet of paper into 12 sections, handwrite a slightly different message on each along with my contact into, run off ten copies on thick paper, cut with scissors, distribute.
