This week marks a most frivolous and minor milestone for this blog - 500K visitors, since re-launching in 2006 (I threw the first incarnation away, after quite a few years of plodding in my early writing efforts).
Growth, in terms of visitors, and the engagement metrics are a bit skewed - since Google changed how some content is ranked in search results, some years ago (after which I noted a dramatic fall-off in traffic) - and with the more recent increasing nuisance of bots scouring the web for content.
I do not write for an audience - I write to explore my thinking - and to record how my thinking changes, over time.
I write to understand...
The blank page is my dojo, my canvas...
This blog has been personally useful to me - as a means of collecting and organizing information - and it helps facilitate sharing some selected bits, from time-to-time, with folks that I meet in the course of my professional work.
Words sing to me. Words have texture, nuance, and meaning - and there is a rhythm to writing something well. Which is not to say that I write well - but that I aspire to become a better writer, always.
