Although it has been a source of occasional stress, my science-and-history site DamnInteresting.com (2005-) is the project that has brought me the most personal satisfaction. It scratches many of my creative itches, from writing to coding to design and beyond. And we have had the very good fortune of cultivating an intelligent, engaged readership (and listenership since we launched our podcast). Sadly, if I tried to launch the site today I don't think it would succeed. It's too hard for a stand-alone site to get attention nowadays, especially with the domination of Facebook and Twitter. Perhaps one day the quirky organic web will return, but I am skeptical.
