The Year in Review 2025 by Graham Sleight

Year in Review, 2025 It would of course be an understatement to claim that 2025 was an eventful year in world politics. But, given the lead times in writ­ing and publishing books, it’d be unrealist

At the next #Eleventy Meetup (Thursday, March 12 at 9am PDT), I’ll be sharing some of my favorite little helpers for quick and easy placeholder content: https://11tymeetup.dev

This is a free and virtual #event !

Launching a little project today! I spent the last few weeks piecing together an archive of every concert I’ve been to. I grew up in the “show up at a door and hand a guy $5” era, so this was an interesting endeavor. More shows to add soon, too!
