With this post, I’m 24 entries away from hitting 4,000. To satisfy my sense of symmetry, I’d need to publish another 24 posts in the next 10 days so that I land on exactly 4,000 at the moment this blog turns 20. I love that idea, because it would average out to 200 posts a year for 20 years—without missing a single month since December 2005.
This blog has always been a long-distance affair, and I’m really proud of the ongoing effort. It’s given my life a sense of meaning through reflection, and that’s not nothing. The archive has become a kind of map of who I’ve been, where I’ve gone, and what I’ve loved along the way.
So can I muster an average of 2.4 posts a day over the next 10 days? Why not? This is a b blog after all—we’ve been doing more with less for almost twenty years now.
Strapping in for the ride. Godspeed, you crazy bastard!
This blog eats comments.
That was the plan 🙂
Oh it just spits them back, good blog!
I’m here for the .4 of a post too, ready to comment.
You could do the Dsily Create every day, one post for your work and the second a tutorial. Tag them ds106 to add the syndicated pile on https://ds106.us/flow I thought we were close to flipping the 100k mark but it’s like 4900 more posts. We can do it!
Blog on.
Hahaha, you are pushing the Daily Create hard, and frankly I see it working in my Mastodon stream, so good on you! I would do a daily create, but AI Maddeness is going to be the focus for a bit, but who know, I may even do a Daily Create one of these days given you’re such an amazing community ambassador 🙂
