week, but it was a few weeks later when his blog caught national and international attention in the 9/11 terrorists attacks.

He has built a large and loyal audience based on his sharp curation and commentary on everything from Fed monetary policy to the best gas grills. That he has maintained a prodigious daily output of tidbits, links, news and opinion for a decade is nothing short of remarkable.

Reynolds has also inspired and encouraged hundreds of others to take up blogging. Much like his personality, he understates his accomplishments in the video above.

Congratulations on passing a milestone worth noting and what will he be saying on the 20th?.

I took Glenn Reynold's photograph some years ago when he was recognized by Wired Magazine for his blog. I remember asking him what a blog was. I seriously didn't know. I can't recall that his explanation helped.

Something he said must have clicked; you started a blog and it was good, very good!
