Your blog categories should provide guideposts and should generally be helpful to the reader. Unfortunately, for many blogs, there are just too many categories to be of any use to the audience.
If your blog has as many categories as this guy changes topics, then you should probably start thinking about killing a few. Specificity and focus rule in the blog kingdom.
Have a good Friday!
WOW. Now that's something I never thought about.
One of the first things that I had to adapt to when moving to WordPress was determining the difference between tags, categories and how they should be used to present information to the user.
(If you haven't covered that, it might be a good topic for your WordPress fanboy posts.)
A rule of thumb for categories and tags that I read somewhere is that your categories should be like the table of contents and tags are like the index from a book. That is how I set mine up.
I have been thinking about this for a while and this has given me the "kick in the pants" that I needed to prompt me to go through my blog and streamline my categories!

I took this advice from you a couple months ago and broke my categories down to 7. (There were a lot more than that before) I could probably take out a couple more… we'll see. Great video illustration of the problem!
