I have a blog, but I don't really blog that much.

For example, at the moment I have 43 drafts, and about 10 published posts.

I basically use my blog more as a way to store up potential future ideas. I grab threads that catch my interest. In that thread, I would have written up some long rant-y comment and realize a few things:

1) No one will ever read this.

2) Why am I giving this site free content?

3) I can use this for my blog. I should save it for later.

So, I grab all of the info that sparked the comment and throw it into my drafts. The hope is that if I have some downtime later on, I'll work on some of the drafted ideas I have stored.

Besides that, I also use my blog as a way to document the various things I've learned, discovered, or setup for my home lab. Having some online documentation of that information (that can also serve as a dual role of showing that I am technically knowledgeable) can help me down the road, when I re-forget all of that information.
