Ten Years of Blogging

That's like, what, ten dog years, right?  But only if the dog is traveling at a significant fraction of the speed of light.  Or something like that.

In any case, it's time to mention the occasion.  The question naturally arises (usually in my head, late at night), why am I doing this?  Initially it started as an easy way for family and friends to keep up with goings-on: bike rides, movies, interesting articles, etc.  Later it evolved to have a significant number of how-to posts, on everything from fixing appliances to setting up ham radios.  It's also a convenient place to document coffeeneuring trips.  So... catch-all for writing, pictures, news, and informal documentation.  That's why.

But the best post?  How to Work a Physics Problem in Four Easy Steps

ps: And the most-searched posts?  
DIY Air Purifier  $30-ish bucks and five minutes' work.
All You Really Need  The $4 special ham/shortwave antenna (more on this on the way, btw).
Two from the SWLing Post  High frequency trading, in more than one sense, and rescue radios.
A New Article on Numbers Stations  Reading the mail, if only we knew what it meant.
Meanwhile, Down at the Hamfest  No pork, just technical forums.  And a new solar panel.

pps: I may be taking a few days off from blogging.  It's just a short break due to a few pressing matters, it's definitely not a quit.  Don't worry, this blog's good for decades more of ACME-grade misadventures.
