1. On a Google vanity search, my name appears higher than ever.
   
2. As a corollary to (1), I seem to be receiving more "hey what's up" notes from my past.
   
3. It's easier to write for deadline when you're writing every day, as opposed when you're only writing for the deadlines.
4. Notwithstanding (3), it would be difficult to keep up a blog at this pace were I not self-employed. Not because I couldn't find the time, but because I wouldn't want to convey the impression that I was more involved in personal projects than in the goals of my employer.
   
5. In conversations with real people, sometimes I start riffing on something I had blogged about previously and wonder whether that's a conversational crutch.
   
6. Similarly, during conversations now, I can't help but think about how I could turn the topic at hand into a blog post.
   
7. The question, "Do I want to blog about this?" may have affected my media consumption habits. I need good stuff to write about!
   
8. I've become acutely conscious about what I'm NOT blogging about. For instance, I haven't written about music yet, which is an oversight. And I haven't written about politics, because it's so obvious and I'm a coward.
   
9. It's liberating to write without an editor or even an editorial mission, but it can be discombobulating.
   
10. I'm having fun!
