+                             Year in review
+
+Abstract
+
+   Hoo boy, what a year
+
+Body
+
+   Keeping with the tradition of reviewing my year, let's have a look
+   back at my 2017.
+
+   1. I visited Japan
+
+      My buddy Jamar had the bright idea to order plane tickets to Japan
+      in December of last year for September of this year. Of course, I
+      paid him back within the first four months of 2017. Anyhoo, we
+      stayed for two weeks (my other buddy Oliver stayed for a week) and
+      it was one of *the* best experiences of my life. Holy moly. I
+      still have a LOT of footage to get through. I've been meaning to
+      post about my trip for quite some time but 60GB+ is too much to go
+      through…or maybe I'm just lazy. Here's a couple pics to whet
+      your appetite:

+
+   2. I proposed and got married
+
+      During Easter I proposed to my longtime girlfriend and although we
+      planned an semi-elaborate wedding, we decided to make it a small
+      get-together. After all, we were financing things ourselves so it
+      made the most sense. This was another great experience, especially
+      because the weather leading up to and immediately after our
+      wedding day was absolutely *dreadful* and cold. We took that as a
+      sign of the universe approving our union.

+
+      If you're interested in learning how we met, you can check out
+      both her post[1] and mine[2].
+
+   3. I lost my job
+
+      The startup I was working for went out of business in November.
+      This was a mere *four days* after my wedding. 🤬 Yeah I know, fun
+      right? Christmas a month later too? *Good grief*! Studies show
+      that money is one of the major reasons behind divorce so I guess
+      my wife and I were lucky that this happened immediately. Even
+      though job searching is immensely stressful (and annoying), having
+      ample time to work on projects I reserved for nights and weekends
+      has been a plus.
+
+      Let this be a lesson to you: if you work for a startup that's
+      focused *solely* on B2B and they poo-poo the idea of B2C for
+      additional revenue even though their big partners are moving
+      slower than molasses, flee as soon as you can. That big partner
+      can *and will* outlive your dinky startup.
+
+   4. Became more productive
+
+      This was a direct result of losing my job. Per my post about
+      neglected projects[3], I went through the list and either
+      redesigned or sunset them. My sunset'd projects aren't 100% gone,
+      just positioned in a way that I don't feel bad about seeing them.
+      A great way to ensure that is to get your project(s) to a nice
+      stopping point *and* leave yourself notes.
+
+      With those out of the way, I started work on a social network
+      called Socii. You can read more about[4] it or visit the site[5]
+      to sign up for updates!
+
+   FIN
+
+      Here's my top nine Instagram photos, based on likes.

+
+      This may be the last time I do one of these, I want Socii to
+      replace Instagram for me. 🕸
