I’ve tried doing the whole rapid fire blogging thing. In the past elsewhere the most I could manage was 2 posts a day but the thing you find is you have little time for much else.

Speaking of domains and online activity. Ever since I did my first egosurf (way back when we were all surfing web 1.0 with 56k dialup, Google was a sound a baby would make, email was the fastest way to communicate and AOL was a formidable giant of the web) this website is what drew in the top results.
