I think this month's IndieWeb Carnival blogging challenge will appeal to a lot of people here.

"Our hobbies, passions, and curiosities rarely exist in neat boxes. They bleed into each other."

Happy New Year!

Taking part in online challenges is a great way to learn a new skill, connect with others, and build healthy communities.

I put together a short write-up on my mostly successful attempt at taking part in both the #looptober and #weirdweboctober challenges at the same time this year.

@looptober

#weirdweblooptober

Here's my #weirdweboctober submission for "Remix", which I then in turn used to create today's #looptober loop.

So that's a #weirdweblooptober, if you will.

I expanded on this thought earlier this year on my blog.

I know it's a huge privilege to have the time and mental space for hobbies, even more now than in recent times, but-!

Having something positive in your life, and being part of a community is so important.

Happy New Year from New Jersey, USA!

2024 was a challenging year for many. And in some ways, 2025 might shape up to be even more so.

Hey, it's my #birthday today!

If you'd like to celebrate with me, and have some extra money to spare, see if you can donate some of it to folks posting under the "MutualAid" hashtag, or support your server's admins.

Also, here are some organizations and causes that I care about […]

I’m so excited for Advent of Code so I can join a leaderboard, do the first two challenges and then give up on the third day because I’m busy and it requires more than 5 minutes of effort.
