I've been blogging (sometimes regularly, sometimes irregularly) since 1995. I started at a site called Stating the Obvious (theobvious.com), and then at sippey.com, and then for a while at sippey.typepad.com, and then at Medium. I'm slowly migrating things from those old sites to here, just to have them all in one place. There are currently 1,956 posts archived here, for a total of roughly 316,000 words.
