<p>[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 4519654, member: 57463"]<font face="Book Antiqua">My other hobby is that I write. It is also my job. As a technical writer, I get paid to write what other people want. I enjoy it. I do it well. But it is not internal to myself. For that, I have a blog, Necessary Facts (<a href="https://necessaryfacts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://necessaryfacts.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">https://necessaryfacts.blogspot.com</a>). I started it on January 2, 2011. I have posted 636 articles, steadily, about five a month. I write about whatever interests me. The articles fall into about a dozen broad categories: numismatics, astronomy, science, philosophy, mathematics, food and drink in Austin, criminology, the military. At the close of just about all I put links to four (or more) articles, usually related to the essay topic, but often on very different subjects.</font></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1119663[/ATTACH]</p><p><b><font face="Arial">Total statistics</font></b></p><p><font face="Book Antiqua"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Book Antiqua">Although I have had 328,741 page views, I have only seven followers.
