Anniversary Post

I started musings.kerrzone.com blog back on July 19th, 2015 so yesterday was my three year anniversary.  There have been 770 blog posts, an average of 255 per year, so virtually every business day.

From the humble beginning of just 3 to 5 readers for the first couple of months, I now regularly have 50 to 100 readers each day.  My focus has been on interesting random ideas.

Of course the intent was more for my own pleasure in being able to freely say what I think, that is I am not focused on the reader, however, it is nice to know a few find the ideas amusing.

Not everyone agrees

It has not been a surprise to me that not everyone agrees with my random thoughts and ideas.  This has been expressed through the feedback I receive and is always welcome.

Interestingly though, some do agree occasionally.

Running Out of Ideas

Looking back over three years of posts I wonder how I was able to keep on going.  Where do all this random thoughts and ideas arise from.

I must pass a heartfelt thanks to my colleagues at U of A.  Without the robust discussions we engage in regulary I often would have been bereft of ideas. .

Also my readers often passed on their thoughts about this and that and many a post arose from their feedback.  To everyone thank you and I hope you have been enjoying reading these short missives as much as I do creating them .

Hopefully I will soldier on for a while though it will be completely dependent on whether I continue to have something to muse about.

Happy Anniversary

A year ago to the day I started to capture a series of randam musings and post them to the world in blog format (a web log of interesting thoughts, however random)

I have made 313 posts in the last 365 days or 6 posts a week on average.  I’ve recieved 65 comments directly and another 60 or so via e-mail, face book and linked-in. This is a little over 2 comments a week.

So what did I post about?

Financial management and investing – 30 posts

Leadership,organizational and human behaviour – 137 posts

Entertainment including posts about listening to music –  17 posts

Electronics, the Internet ans Social Media – 11

Customer Service – 6

And a whole lot of other stuff –  112

Behavior

As you can see from the numbers Observations and suggestions on ways to behave, being aware of how you behave and mapping it to how you live are one of the most common posts.

Not surprisingly, a whole bunch of individual random thoughts comes a close second. This are just observations on topical events or even just mundane things like taking out the garbage.

Where to from here

As long as it keeps my interest the posts will flow.  I hope they are interesting, thought provoking and even on occassion , helpfull.  And if they are not, to use one of my favorite sayings, “find someone who cares.”
