It has been while since I have done one of these posts but I like looking at the data I have collected over the past year and seeing what has resonated. This year, like previous years is a mixed bag of posts. And as a result the data is weird. For example visitors from China were the biggest audience, but I don’t write in Chinese. Nor do I write about China much. Maybe they like pottery?
Here are the top posts in order:
- Differences in Western and Japanese Pottery Aesthetics
- Terrible eCommerce Experience at Costco.ca
- When Your Hobby Becomes a Chore: How to Decide If It’s Time to Quit
- Negative Income Tax: A More Judicious Path to Financial Security
- How to Turn Hobbies Into Lifelong Friendships
- St. John’s Black
- Songs about Sunshine
- The Beauty of Being an Amateur: Why Hobbies Should Be About Love, Not Perfection
- The Truth About Ikigai and Hobbies: Stop Monetizing Your Joy
- No Billionaires: We’re ridiculously poor at understanding big numbers
I guess there is something for everyone on this site. Should be, I’ve been writing for decades.

Happy to have found you. Lost track when we lost your Mom. You have inherited great Main talents.
