About 7 months ago I decided to start writing blogs. Since then I’ve written 99 of them, and this will be my 100th. It’s been fun.

A good way to capture, refine, and share my ideas (also a productive way to procrastinate, signal virtue, seem cool). An archive of thoughts about many many things, both important and not. Overall, a useful way to share yourself with the world.

So to celebrate 100 posts, here’s a list of some of my favorites and most useful, broken out by category and theme (I did the same after 50, but now there’s 50 more!). I’d love to know which one(s) you liked best yourself:

There you go - some honorable mentions might be my series on having AI build me a Coleslaw Maps website (parts 1, 2, 3, 4).

There are a couple other fun ones that I like but I’ll save those for later (I think part of creating a greatest hits list is that you can’t include more than 50% of the entires :-)

I hope you found some value in all this. If not that’s okay - I like to remind myself that I am writing these for ME, above all else. Maybe you will see this and put yourself out there a bit more, I hope you do.

Life is too short and too precious not to share it with others as much as you can. The up’s, the down’s, the lessons, the wins, the losses.

What’s next for me? It’s simple will keep moving, keep searching, keep stepping through the doorwasy of life, and keep writing about it along the way.

If you have ideas you’d like me to write about, shoot me a message - I’m at the stage of my writing career where I’m open to taking requests and playing covers.

Cheers,
Ramsey
