7 year blog-iversary
I still remember sitting in my cubicle at work 10 years ago contemplating starting a blog and convincing myself no one would read it because no one cared what I had to say. Which is why you can understand I still chuckle at the fact I’ve ran a blog for 7 years now (exactly on […]
