But at least you’re here

I’ve got a lot of unpublished draft blog posts here.  Like a lot.  At the time I’m writing this post, I’ve got 1,134 published posts and 329 drafts.  This isn’t versions of drafts.  It’s posts that I’ve started and then didn’t publish for some reason or another.  On probably 300 different topics.  Some are, admittedly, little more than a collection of links and indecipherable shorthand texts from a madman.  However, others are filled with research, links, images, code, and were so close to publishing that I can only imagine that something distracted me before I could… squirrel!

The oldest of these dates back to December 2009 and relates to the cutting edge, new to market, MakerBot Cupcake CNC’s plastic extruder, the “plastruder.”  I don’t know that anyone would be interested in this kind of content any more, but I kinda like the idea of “Drafts Zero” and spending about 5-15 minutes dusting off an old draft and just publishing it.1

Let’s see how this goes.

Update:

1. In just the first few posts, I discovered that I wanted to add some additional comments.  Look for these at the top, in italics and in brackets to provide context.
