Starting in 2021, I decided to try CGP Grey's "Yearly Theme" in place of typical New Years resolutions. Here are some thoughts about the "Theme Journal" that comes along with it so far:https://ndanes.com/blog/2021/02/11/reevaluating-my-themejournal

GoatCounter is an awesome privacy-respecting analytics service that I would recommend to others, but I decided to ditch it (and any other analytics service) for my blog (for now). A blog post on my thoughts on it!https://ndanes.com/blog/2021/02/12/ditching-goatcounter

#askfediverse Office chair recommendations for <=$300 USD?I had a chair from Costco that had problems for me after a few months (thankfully returnable) and now working on a ~$50 target mesh chair that is horribly uncomfortable. I'm aware of used Herman Miller/Steel Case offers, but worried about lack of warranty if I have issues.

Making friends on the Fediverse and continuing conversations on XMPP/Jabber has been the perfect combination of feeling like the early 2000's internet for me. It's been really great and almost necessary for me during these isolating times :D

https://ndanes.com/blog/2021/03/09/css-cleanup-no-more-minima-themeFinally took the time to pulled out my dependency on Jekyll's default minima theme. Now using a frankenstein combination of the previous stylesheet and https://john-doe.neocities.org/Overall I'm happy. I should probably check GTMetrix to see if that's improved...
