That was *seven* years ago. + +In that time, quite a lot has changed in my life both personally and professionally. So, I figured it would be interesting to reflect on these years and document it for my own personal records. My hope is that this is something I could start doing every 5 or 10 years (if I can keep going that long!). This way, my blog also serves as a "time capsule" or museum of the past... + +## Fun Facts + +**This Blog**: + +I originally started blogging on `bradleytaunt.com` using WordPress, but since then I have changed both my main domain and blog infrastructure multiple times.

Hopefully I'll be right back here in another 7 years and maybe you'll still be reading along with me!
