I didn’t have a blog when the Hemispheric Views podcast released their great episode 097 Duel of the Defaults! but I did read a lot of others blogs at the time. I don’t know how many bloggers did their defaults because of that podcast but it was a lot. It was fun seeing all the different choices people made. I’m fairly boring but I’ll add mine here. I added personal and work because they are separate.
