* Imported all the posts I've written on my [company blog][12] into an "[elsewhere][13]" section -- I'm pretty proud of some of this stuff and wanted to make sure I have a copy of it I control. I was able to automate a lot of the process with [Nokogiri][14] and [Pandoc][15], but I still had to manually review every post, which was a fun trip down memory lane, though some of my old ideas are BAD. * Imported all the posts I've written on my [company blog][12] into an "[elsewhere][13]" section -- I'm pretty proud of some of this stuff and wanted to make sure I have a copy of it I control.

This might be useful to other folks & might be worth rewriting in Go and releasing. * Polished my [Markdown link renumbering script][16] (keeps my links in numerical order).

I'm really happy with Hugo -- it's simple but flexible enough to handle every challenge I've thrown at it. Building and maintaining this site has brought me a lot of joy this year.

> For the past ten years or so I've been a musical rut, playing the same half-dozen, half-written songs on guitar once every other blue moon and listening to the same handful of punk bands I listened to in high school. I’ve been a musician for most of my life. Between church choirs, garage bands, and a cappella groups, I’ve been involved in organized (but never professional) music-making for the better part of several decades. But, after so long uninspired, I thought that maybe the musical part of my life was mostly behind me. Until the Tascam Portastudio 414 MKII brought it all flooding back. > For the past ten years or so I've been a musical rut, playing the same half-dozen, half-written songs on guitar once every other blue moon and listening to the same handful of punk bands I listened to in high school.

> If there is one cultural work that epitomizes this shift, where you can see our new epoch coming into view, I want to say it’s “Back to Black,” by Amy Winehouse. The album dates to October 2006 — seven months after Twitter was founded, three months before the iPhone debuted — and it seems, listening again now, to be closing the door on the cultural system that Manet and Baudelaire established a century and a half previously. > If there is one cultural work that epitomizes this shift, where you can see our new epoch coming into view, I want to say it’s “Back to Black,” by Amy Winehouse.
