I update it when I feel there is something to say, not out of a need to keep it current for activity's sake.
I write for two reasons:
Firstly, to get my ideas from my head into written form for personal reflection upon either a concept, experience or reaction to piece of relevant content. Secondly as a means of sharing my own experience(s) with others who might be looking for a different perspective based on someone else's background.
I have also found that my technical blog has gained me several acquaintances, a few good friends, and considerable work. While my CV is rather lengthy due to my fifteen years in the industry, I have found that my blog posts offer far better insight into my thinking processes. As such, my best and brightest works situations transpired from those companies which found me via my writings.
