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. 🕸
