I started blogging in February 2000 (it was social like Twitter back then). 5 years ago, I ramped up my writing again: I've been posted at least weekly for 256 weeks.<p>I've learnt that blogging is a necessary part of my practice for finding and exploring new ideas. It's brought me work and friends. And there's especially a place for blogging today: no platform will value your words like you will yourself.
