electronic journals
Sorry but a tad late to this discussion. I have been away on a hunting trip.
I've kept a hunting (and other exploits) journal since my 20's. While mostly about hunting it includes other notable events such as the last day of duck season in 1990 when I never met my friends at the blind because my wife went into labor and our son was born.
When I retired my wife gave me a mini I-Pad and, after some research, I downloaded an app called "Day One" which is an electronic journal. I was very reluctant to switch to electronic means for many reasons including security of the information, possibility of losing the info and there's nothing like someone's real handwriting. I cherish my grandmothers journal from 1906 even though it is miserable to read due to her penmanship.
But...I gave it a try and happy with it so far. Positives include the automatic recording of the date/time of the entry, geo-locator (where you were located when you made the entry), and especially the ability to include photos from your smartphone into the entry. It is very easy to use. There may be better apps than Day One and if so would love to hear about them. My handwriting is getting worse too but not because of single malt. If been drinking that since my 20's too.
