https://thejoeflow.com/blog I write about...books. I don't think there's much point to reading it unless you've already read the book I'm talking about. I mostly do it because I found I use to read books and then never talk about them or think about them afterwards so I would just forget about the book after a little while. I figured that writing something down about the book would help clarify my thoughts on it and…

Is there anywhere on your site where I can see a complete list of your reviews in one place? I like your essays, I occasionally do the same thing and I think it has made me a more attentive reader.

No - unfortunately you can only do so by clicking on the "Archive" dropdown and browsing through the years/months...something I will add soon though!

Appreciate the feedback

So where can I find your blog? https://admcpr.com

why is it awesome? Honestly, it's really not.

And why should I (and everyone else) read it? You almost certainly shouldn't, it exclusively consists of posts that are a way for me to learn something, remember something or clarify something.

I mainly blog about the projects I've worked on/been passionate about.

Namely:

- I wrote a software CPU (at the gate level) to get a better understanding how simple CPUs work

- I wrote a webassembly version of my gameboy color emulator

Not been updated recently as I've not got many side projectson, but I hope you find them enjoyable

I'm at https://www.swyx.io/writing/ I write about Frontend dev (React/Svelte/Tailwind/etc) and Node/Serverless, but my best pieces are junior/intermediate dev career advice stuff and that has frontpaged HN a few times - https://www.swyx.io/writing/learn-in-public - https://www.swyx.io/writing/svelte-static - https://www.swyx.io/writing/coronavirus-recession/ - https://www.swyx.io/writing/writing-mise-en-place/ - http…

https://guille.site

A blog on physics, math, stats, optimization, ml, etc. Mostly a combination of my PhD research topics and thoughts that aren’t yet coherent enough to publish.

Posting this here as I’ve had several posts remain half-written in my drafts. Maybe this will get me to write some more...

I write about logistics and supply chain topics at greenleaves.io. The first, loose article series about Vendor Managed Inventory and consignment stock is done. Lately, I'm not as fast in writing new stuff as I wished, so. Why is it awesome? Having a look at these things from a operational perspective is different from the pure theory. Also, why it obviously is a blog on my company website, sales leads and content ma…

https://paulstamatiou.com/ Been running this site for about 15 years now and while I don't post often it's usually long-form detailed articles on a broad range of hardware/software/tech/design topics that take me a few months of spare time: Getting started with security keys (15k words) https://paulstamatiou.com/getting-started-with-security-keys... Building a Lightroom PC (30k words) https://paulstamatiou.com/buildi…

I absolutely love your site's design and content. The photographer in me is so happy.

https://artminnow.com : I occasionally do interviews with visual artists. I ask them questions, think about their responses, and ask more questions, until I can't think of any more I want to ask. I think they've turned out well, but it is a lot of work (my gosh its been three years)

and then there is a group blog of which I am a member

https://deadvoles.wordpress.com/

One writer is an anthropologist living in Japan who worked in the advertising industry for many years there; another is a liberal arts college professor and a farmer; a few others. All interesting people, with interesting thoughts, and lots of big questions.

I ended up implementing a primitive tag cloud[0] to keep track of different topics.

I love the quality of your photography, especially on the security keys guide.

Thank you! Taking photos for my posts ends up being a considerable effort compared to the outlining/writing parts but also think it adds a lot. I tend to spread the shooting out over a few days, take more shots when I'm not happy with some, try new orientations.. then eventually pick a handful to use from 500-1K+ shots each time.
