Tech Friday: Time to take account of My Desultory Blog life
Posted By RichC on January 2, 2026
The years sure do start to melt together and numbers in the thousands of daily posts doesn’t seem possible? But the stats don’t lie and neither do the years. So as I did last year, I’m archiving MDB numbers.
Personal blogging for most has given way to social media and podcasting and video “shorts” these days, but I continue to plug away at typing something each day. If for nothing else, it gives me a place to reference thoughts, happenings, events and dates that more and more I use to remember something or find a photo or video. Unfortunately it is becoming increasingly more difficult to search as way too many “keywords” are linked to odds and ends (just as I was back in 2013). I’m hoping that AI might help me improve on this in the future?
Here’s a the short list of what topics are often included and what has interested me:
- Cars, Tesla and previously small Volkswagen TDI diesels
- News, Politics and likely too much time focused Social Media
- Wall Street, Finance and Investing
- Aviation, the experimental aircraft building (EAA)
- Biodiesel and homebrewing recycled cooking oil
- Printing, publishing, sales and business while phasing out my work life
- Reading, books, history and topics of interest
- Entertainment, movies and of course music
- Kids, Family, School, College, Weddings, Funerals and milestones
- Sailing, hiking, backpacking, vacations and recreation
- Faith and life advice
- Hobbies, photography, workshop tools and woodworking
- And to make this list a Baker’s dozen (idiom): Computers, smartphones, gadgets and technology
