 I like blogging because I like sharing my thoughts, and the ego gratification of knowing they're being read is nice too. But in recent years another reason I like blogging is because I like re-reading my own posts, many years hence. The little Flight feature I have for my Archive is so cool for this; I can click a button and see what I was thinking about this time for each of the last fourteen years. (Try it :)
So I just clicked it, and what did I find?
- 2015: I was just settling in to watch football on a nice rainy day. Well that sounds familiar :)
- 2014: thinking about Space. I guess I do that a lot.
- 2013: checking in after ten years of blogging.
- 2012: a summary post, after a year of blogging on Facebook... and moving to Westlake Island, wow, can't believe that was five years ago!
- 2011: blogging about football. Heh.
- 2010: my first Tesla test drive (in a Roadster). The seed was clearly planted. Not to mention a trippy 0s-and-1s Matrix-like graphic, so cool, I must keep that for future reference :)
- 2009: a positive take on Obamacare, and Scott Adams on friends.
- 2008: a filter pass with comments about science and the iPhone's impact, and also celebrating the 100th ScanScope at Aperio, and analyzing the Cowboy's Dilemma.
- 2007: nothing, after a year of not-blogging :( except for an oasis of good stuff in May.
- 2006: nada. My nadir of blogging. There was some cool stuff in February, though...
- 2005: celebrating rain in San Diego (!), Vitamin D, TivoToGo, and a beach in an East German hanger...
- 2004: Ottmar Liebert on home-making, LOTR, and blogging about blogging...
- 2003: ten days after starting, a great list of notes, including Reid Hoffman, my book, Peter Thiel, a family up for auction on eBay, Carl Sagan's baloney detector, and the problem with metadata. Oh, and North Korea! Well that sounds familiar:
The more things change, the more they stay the same, and the more I like blogging about how much things have changed and how much they've stayed the same. Once in a lifetime...
