I've been wanting to transfer my vast notebook of programming notes, gathered from about 7 years of work, to a blog. Problem is, I intersperse my text with sketches or doodles that server as important memory tags. I know there have been online sketching apps around for years (usually done in Flash), where you can even save the stuff online. So it would seem an easy leap to make that part of a blog. But I've been looking around for about a week and nobody seems to have done this.
This exercise also made me realize how little we've come in truly integrating sketching and word processing, regardless of online or not. It should be a lot simpler now for users of MS Word to add a sketch, but it is poorly integrated.

Perhaps due to some synchronicity, though, I did just find this new post, which is tantalizingly close to what I'm talking about.

Note that it dovetails with another fascination of mine: the demise of Flash.

Facebook has two grafiti applications that essentially do what I'm thinking of.
