I’ve successfully migrated my blog to micro.blog! There’s still work to do, including migrating my old theme, as well as finding a home for interactive posts that could move, but overall it’s all here. Let me know what I missed!
I honestly love the subway. Where else could you see these two people doing the same thing together apart?

I don’t own a house, but I found Marques Brownlee’s solar roof explainer fascinating. Would love to be totally off the grid.

Got back from my first trip to Atlanta, and got to share it with many friends. In NYC for a few days, then off to Pittsburgh for DrupalCon! I’ll be at the Lullabot booth, so stop by if you’re attending.

Started reading: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. I read Johnathan Strange & Mr. Norrell years ago and enjoyed it, so am really excited for this one. 📚
Finished reading: Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. Nihilistic, weird, brutal, and well observed. I really liked it. 📚
Started reading: Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. One of those books I never read. This is one of those books I probably wouldn’t have appreciated when they were required reading, but am loving now. 📚
