I typically write about things I want to tell people about. Maybe we had an interesting lunchtime conversation, something unusual came up, I'll read about it more and write a post.

Or maybe there's a decision I'm making: I'll write up how I'm thinking about it, where I am so far, and publish that. Often I get good feedback on these posts that makes me think about the problem differently.

I try to notice when I get ideas that would make good posts and write them down. Then, in the evening, I'll sit down, look over the ideas, and see if there's anything I feel like writing about.
