Webb +Category: Life 2018.12.31 + + 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. + + 📸[My favorite photos from the past few months][IMG1] + + This time next year, Socii will have photo functionality. 🕸 + +References + + [1] <http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Kimoyo_Beads> + [2] <https://socii.network> + [3] <https://chew.sh> + [4] <https://www.npmjs.com/package/vne> + [5] <https://www.npmjs.com/package/chewit> + [6] <https://www.npmjs.com/package/@inc/eslint-config> + [7] <https://www.npmjs.com/package/@inc/sasslint-config> + [8] <https://gitea.io> + [9] <https://lakimisalive.bandcamp.com> + [10] <https://macross82-99.bandcamp.com> + [11] <https://ericlau.bandcamp.com> + [12] <https://dentmay.bandcamp.com> + [13] <https://theplaylist.bandcamp.com> + [14] <https://leyawn.bandcamp.com> + [15] <https://yungbaebae.bandcamp.com> + [IMG1] <https://🔥.pixels.wtf/blog/image/2018/yir.jpg> |
