It's late, it's been a busy day, so why bother to spend 10 or 15 minutes at night jotting things down?
For me there are a few reasons, but the main one is that it's cathartic. I can unwind a little, let go of things, and sometimes think more clearly. When I was doing more authoring, a little writing after work helped to cement some ideas in my head, and many times gave me something to ponder or work on overnight or throughout the next day.
Taking a few minutes to write usually just makes me feel better, and better understand what's happened in my day.

The question isn't why you blog, its the volume at which you write that I find interesting. Plus, I know this isn't your only outlet. So, how much writing does your blog actually cover I wonder? Between Twitter, posting in the forums, blogging and writing articles I can imagine your keyboard must be replaced every 6 months or so :)

Not every six months, but probably every year. I'm lucky in that it's a part of my job, so I have time to do it, but I get a lot of writing done.
Or maybe that's a lot of re-writing done ;)
