# On 22 years of posts

I am always amazed that there are 22 years of history on this blog.

I know that these days I go years between posting bursts, but in the early days, I was putting up new posts 1-2 times a day. Ah, the early days of blogging -- the B.T. (**Before Twitter**) era.

A lot of those early posts are personal musings on topics of the day, goings on in my family, discussion on **GrabPERF**, my experiment in developing a distributed web performance measurement system while I worked at a company that did that for real, and Web Performance.

Now its primarily Web Performance, Climate Change, and how to protect a system that runs on coal and steam from the idiocy of the modern internet.

Still, 22 years is a long time. Especially now when the news cycle is compressed into minutes, the availability of information is staggering, and the ability to take a breath and think about what is happening is non-existent.

Welcome to the next decade of history this week.
