Blogging world record, work

wordpress archived posts screenshot
JungleJeff.net “archived blogs” widget showing earliest posts began November 21, 2008. Jungle Jeff.com was and still is taken. Had Jungle Jeff.org but let it expire.

At one point 130 domain names were registered in my GoDaddy account.

Down to 10 now.

Part of the entrepreneurial learning curve is making decisions with no crystal ball and little to no previous business building experience.

Grateful for it all.

Upgraded the generic WordPress homepage screen using a personal photo. Not a coder. Not a graphic artist. So i did the best i could with the basics.

Another Year Has Come & Gone
Even as late as February 2009, had no idea i would pick April Fools’ Day as a final attempt ‘daily-blogging attempt”.

Three-week countdown, work…

At work, career-wise, it’s literally impossible to comprehend the daily blogging effort.

What’s incomprehensible is that i began doing this prolific writing stuff while fully employed, traveling extensively, married, dad, and training for the 2009 Master’s Track and Field World Championships to be held in Finland.

Instagram post about Faith Kipyegon running four minute mile
It’s only impossible until you do it the first time.

You do not need anyone’s permission to attempt things that have never been done.

Neither do i.

So i am.

AI summary screen shot
This morning Alan helped me see what i thought AI will do someday. His text with all his questions and Groc 3’s answers, well, make it compelling real for me now. Check out this answer…
AI answering a question screenshot
Alan asked Groc 3 (AI) a series of questions. This photo is one of many. Too many to share today.

It’s fitting that today is my official final day writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

A remarkably astonishing feat.

i actually did it and still can’t fathom that it happened.

Insight & karma: i’ve been wondering for years how i could take an overwhelming number of blog posts (6,000+ per blog x 5 blogs = 30k+) and synthesize it for someone (our son) who would get only the very best from 16 consecutive years of my self-reflection, insight, and hope. Karma delivered the answer, by using a brilliant, personal (and real) example from Alan’s experiments. What are the odds. Literally zero. But it happened anyway.

phone app for car diagnostics
AAA was here two hours ago. Why? Ten minutes into our two-hour plus drive home from Port Richey, Cheryl’s battery light comes on. She’s following me home. i’m in the lead in the brand new car that only had 2 miles on it when we test drove it yesterday. What should have been a celebratory drive home today, was a nail-biter all the way because i/we never knew if the 2015 Honda would die on the way home.
41-second video: As real, and unglamorous, as it gets.

Luck favors the bold.

And the good and decent.

And the humble.

And the broken.

i is all of that and more…

So is whoever reads this.
