This week marks the 10 year anniversary of this daily blog. In some ways it’s hard to believe that it’s been a decade and in other ways it’s hard to imagine a time when I didn’t write/post something every day. What a habit this has become.
A lot has changed since 2013.
Back then, I was still trying to find my way in real estate development. Instagram was only 3 years old. TikTok hadn’t been created yet. And the idea of writing a daily blog didn’t feel as antiquated as it does today. I probably should be vlogging at this point.
But here’s what hasn’t changed:
– I enjoy writing, and I think it’s personally beneficial — even if I don’t derive any direct benefits (such as money)
– I like having my own little corner of the internet that I control — instead of relying exclusively on centralized platforms like Instagram or X
Today this corner is brandondonnelly.com, but I suspect that brandondonnelly.eth will become just as important over the next decade. The world is heading toward more decentralization. And if/when that does happen, I’ll be sure to write about it on this daily blog.
Thanks for reading everyone. As usual, I’ll see you tomorrow.

Congratulations on your achievement – whew! – and thank you for your cogent and (mostly) insightful observations.

Brandon – Please keep doing what you have been doing. I am among what I suspect is probably a large constituency in the industry that read your posts religiously and with enjoyment. We look forward to 10 more years of your thoughts and provocations. Personally, I love this means of engagement (perhaps because I too am devoted to the written word). I also love your photographic explorations (a passion I share).

Thanks Chris. Really appreciate the feedback. Some days, it’s not easy to produce a post. I’m also glad that you’re enjoying the photography. I want to do more of it here.
