Blog – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Starting year 18, home

Home is HQ.

HQ is headquarters.

Headquarters is where executive teams do their thing.

Wondering how my HQ blog writing will morph in the new-found, official retirement.

Should be fun.

Kinda like discovering a new trail in Glacier that turns out to be a favorite.

What do i do with an old, dusty, 30-year old dream to write a book for my kids?

What would anyone do?

What if…

(Now remember, this thought-stream is taking place March 31, 2009)

What if i began tomorrow, April Fools Day 2009, writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts for 100 consecutive days?

That would surely provide enough writing (and publishing) experience to begin writing that 30-year old dream book.

With all odds stacked against me…

That’s what i did.

i finally began.

In a week i’ll conclude ‘Year-16’ of writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

Two-week countdown, home

Blog category: Blog stuff

First off, how’s that category title when it comes to originality?

Blog stuff…

Only a genius could come up with that.

Ps. That last sentence made me laugh when i immediately thought of writing it in this post. Then, nearly as immediate, i thought it was dumb. Finally, it was an easy decision: Keep it and see if it makes you laugh again on the day this post publishes (March 17, 2026, btw).

Blogging world record, home

wordpress archived posts screenshot — JeffNoel.com “archived blogs” widget showing earliest posts began March 2009. Securing this .com URL was a miracle i prayed for and didn’t expect.

Currently sitting on over 31,000 blog posts.

Well past the official world record.

How do i feel about it?

Great.

A few things about world records:

No one cares.
No one knows.
Why would i care? i don’t.
“Bragging rights” are literally worthless, by the way.

There’s a time and a place for certain world records. Totally see that.

What is the most fun is that i write simply because i enjoy it and cannot help myself.

The growth from many aspects of five-blogs-a-day daily blogging is indescribable.

Probably could describe it but feel no need at this point.
