+ Year in Review
+
+Abstract
+
+ What. A. Year.
+
+Body
+
+ So much has happened this year, not just for me but my wife as well.
+ Let's dig in.
+
+ 1. I quit Instagram
+
+ A year prior I quit Facebook proper but it seemed disingenuous to
+ continue using Instagram. Knowing that I was still in FB Land made
+ me feel gross so my last post was New Years Day.
+
+ 2. Attained Wakandan Citizenship
+
+ Black Panther was the greatest movie of the year. I want Kimoyo
+ Beads[1] *badly*.
+
+ 3. Moved to Tennessee
+
+ Family friends invited us to stay with them while 1) I found a new
+ job and 2) we found a home of our own. I *would not* recommend
+ this as it was stressful in several annoying ways but it was only
+ four months. Lessons learned?
+
+ - Trust your gut (in hindsight, I should have seen my
+ layoff coming)
+ - Have a savings fund
+
+ 4. Got more serious about projects
+
+ Socii[2] saw improvements, Chew[3] was launched, and I released
+ some open-source[4] modules[5] and[6] configs[7] on npm.
+
+ Along the way, I discovered better "good practices" and I'm keen
+ on improving them further in the new year.
+
+ Oh, and I transitioned from GitLab to Gitea[8]. GitLab is a
+ resource hog and reminds of old Wordpress. I am much happier with
+ Gitea and it is customizable! I haven't done any customization
+ though, haha.
+
+ My wife delved into sewing more, improved her skills tenfold, and
+ is becoming known in the sewing community. I now have intermediate
+ knowledge about cover stiches and what stiches look like when
+ using 1-3 needles.
+
+ 5. Bought more indie music
+
+ Stream life is just not for me, at least music-wise. Tidal,
+ Spotify, Apple Music…none of it sticks with me. I've found myself
+ using Bandcamp a lot more this year and I mean a LOT.
+
+ Some awesome musicians I've discovered are LAKIM[9],
+ マクロスMACROSS 82-99[10], Eric Lau[11], Dent May[12],
+ The PLAYlist[13], leon chang[14], YUNG BAE[15]…I could keep going
+ but that small list should keep your ears busy for a couple hours.
+
+ FIN
+
+ For the past couple years I've ended my annual review posts with
+ my top nine popular Instagram posts but since I don't use that
+ platform anymore…here are some favorited images from my phone.

+
+ This time next year, Socii will have photo functionality. 🕸
