bookofjoe features items of interest from science, fashion, sports, media, design, books, technology, medicine, music, and many other areas.

Basically, whatever seems interesting to me qualifies for inclusion.

I post 8 times a day, one minute after the hour from 9:01 a.m to 4:01 p.m. Eastern time.

7 days a week.

52 weeks a year.

It’s been that way since August, 2004 and will continue as such until they pry my cold, dead fingers off my keyboard.

I’m a board-certified anesthesiologist, actively practicing.

As such, I’m the world’s most popular blogging anesthesiologist.

bookofjoe, though it brings in no money or other considerations (you will note I accept no advertising of any kind) is by far the thing I most enjoy doing in waking life.

Who knows?

I could give you a reason but, as Ingmar Bergman so wisely observed, “Explanations are clumsy rationalizations with hindsight.”

I started blogging because I was curious about it.

Curiosity is my driving force.

bookofjoe began in August, 2004.

Average visitors per day = 5,000 for the past two or so years.

As noted above, no income from the blog.

I’ve never tried.

I hate the clutter that ads bring, is the reason why.

Well, I’ve received comments and email from Steve Wozniak, Mark Cuban, Marcel Wanders, Ingo Maurer’s brother, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Guy Trebay, and many other boldface names.

If you’re interested in the world, you might like bookofjoe.

4 to 6 hours.

Your quality of life will improve.

Be persistent and consistent.
