h2n0Missed a few Screenshot Saturdays and haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd sent my heartbeat packet to the socials today.
If you want to see what I've been up to recently come on over and check the blog.
axxuyI'm closing April out with one more post. Enjoy!

Emailing about Blogging and Blogging About Emailing
Reach Out to Your Fellow Bloggers A few days ago, I read a post about email: About Writing Other Bloggers Email . It’s a reflection on the joy of emailing other bloggers. Not so much as a way of commenting on their posts (though not excluding that), but as a way of connecting with the people behind those posts. Shortly after that, on Bubbles , I read a reply to that: Re: About Writing Other Bloggers Email . It’s a short note that I found very relatable. The author, like me, thinks about emailing other bloggers, would like to make a habit of it, but so far has not followed through much. I know the feeling.
HisVirusnessIt’s been a while since I’ve touched upon some heavy subject matter. But given the recent personal milestone, it seemed appropriate.

Featurecreepin' ][: Sobriety Work :: HisVirusness
On the six month anniversary of the day I quit drinking, I marked the occasion by attending a meeting. It seemed appropriate, plus I wanted to get my coin. Getting the coin for six months was important to me; it signified that this was actually happening and that the subsequent ongoing attempt was real.
Jarrick Exum, Author“The Guardian of Couture” in Two Days

Alcide Lancaster
“The day that I was exiled from Texas and threatened with death if I dared return was when I knew that I would have to build my life from the ground up. But I never once imagined that my summer internship at Couture would lead me to a legacy like none other!
You’ll never forget the first time! If you’re a fan of “The Devil Wears Prada” and superheroes, then this story is for you! “The Guardian of Couture,” available EXCLUSIVELY on Wattpad, premieres in two days! Don’t miss it!

Double AAIf you haven’t read The Wheel of Time then this may not make sense to you. However having read WoT is no guarantee that it *will* make any sense to you.
Nynaeve al’Meara - Less than Nonsense
I’ve been working my way thru The Wheel of Time book series and once again Nynaeve stands out as not only one of my favorite characters in the series but possibly of any series that I’ve read to date. Her progression thru her character arc is great and it feels like every single bit of it is has been hard fought and earned. Mild spoilers possible ahead.
In “The Guardian of Couture…”
Francis Thompson
I originally thought that the kid was over his head when he applied for the internship. I wanted him to stay blind to the world of fashion, media, and superheroes. But what was meant to be came to be as Ellen knew that his legacy was meant to be fulfilled.
In five days, the story hits the runway of Wattpad.
Emilia Saunders
Don’t think that I’m just a pretty face from England. As Ellen’s right-hand woman, it’s my turn to keep Couture running smoothly and also teach newcomers the same. And it’s also my duty to keep Alcide informed of the tasks that his late grandparents performed when they were Guardians…just like he will be.
You’ll never forget the first time! “The Guardian of Couture” hits the runways on Friday, available EXCLUSIVELY on Wattpad! Don’t miss it!

I worked on a new feat on my blog #BurgeonLab: a #XSL stylesheet for XML content (#rss #atom #feeds). It was easy in #Hugo—just a `static/style.xsl` and add `{{- printf "<?xml-stylesheet href=\"/style.xsl\" type=\"text/xsl\"?>" | safeHTML -}}`.

Still working on the theme, might match it to my exisiting https://burgeonlab.com/guestbook/ style or keep this terminal theme! Kinda cool and much better looking than raw #xml
I finally wrote a post about finally getting that #xteink everyone has been talking about

I Also Got An Xteink X4
Have you heard about it? The hot new device? I have recently seen a flurry of discussion about a new gadget: the Xteink X4. This is only a sampling of the blog posts about it: Early Days With Xteink X4 - Joel Chrono I Love Reading on the Xteink X4 - JP Barebones e-reader: Xteink X4 - www-gem XT Eink X4 - Bit-101 What is it? It is an ereader. The big deal is that it is small and relatively cheap. It’s about A6 sized and retails for $69 USD. It’s got a magnet so you can stick it to the back of your phone and take it everywhere.
