10 years of Rip It Apart!

Time sure flies, doesn’t it? Back in September 2012, I made my first post on this blog, and it’s been growing ever since. At the time of writing, my blog had amassed over 900 thousand views and has been featured on websites like Hackaday on numerous occasions.

Admittedly, my posting schedule has slowed down a lot ever since I graduated in 2019, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has, counterintuitively, dramatically reduced my drive for writing on my blog. That doesn’t mean I’ve been doing fewer projects – quite the contrary in fact! However, blog posts don’t write themselves… and worsening ADHD symptoms coupled with what I suspect is post-COVID “brain fog” have been making the task of gathering enough mental and physical space to create content increasingly difficult.

Regardless, I’m super thankful for everyone who reads, shares, and comments on my posts – and I especially love it when I receive comments and emails from readers whose problems have been solved, thanks to the blog posts I’ve written over the years.

Even if I’m not actively writing content, I’m still here to answer any questions you have, whether it’s by email or even leaving a comment under my blog posts (yes, I do read every single one – even if I don’t necessarily reply to them).

Thanks to all of my readers for your ongoing support by reading my blog, and here’s to another decade of Rip It Apart!
