Two different approaches came to mind. One is to use Google stats and report the 10 posts with the most pageviews. The other is to comb through all 758 posts by hand and decide on my own favorite top 10.
Given to indecision, I have decided to do both. I have provided hotlinks to each post for you who wish to delve beyond the lists themselves. Picking my favorites was no mean feat, but it was fun to reminisce. I could have easily included a top 20 or 30. Tomorrow I might review my posts and come up with a different list.

As you can see, the lists are mutually exclusive. I hope that, over time, some of my picks will end up on the top 10 list based on Google stats. It's obvious I have a bias toward interviews, isn't it?
