I had a blog since November 2004 and I have been writing on and off ever since. I think writing blog posts was probably the longest consistent thing I've ever done in my life, besides being with my wife. Everything comes to an end and so does my blog.
I won't fully retire from writing. Although, I don't enjoy it as much as I used to, sometimes a blog says more than a thousand tweets. I won't maintain a full blog like I used to on the web. I'll probably publish my ramblings using Gists on GitHub or Pro Tips on coderwall.
