I was inspired by @geoff 's post in January about his changing roles to reflect and celebrate the fact that I am "still here." I am grateful that I found a place where my skills and experience are valued and needed.

Two Museum Memories

This month the topic for the IndieWeb Blog Carnival is "Museum Memories." I decided to take a cue from Joe Crawford and share about two museum memories, one from the Design Museum of Barcelona and the second, the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.

I am visiting Murray this weekend to go to a Murray State basketball game with my son. It may be one of my last trips here as my son will graduate in May.

I got to see The Fellowship of the Ring in a movie theater for the first time in 25 years. I started a trial of Polypane (and loving it). And @Cyd's new site design caught my eye. All this plus links and other things that made up my week.

There are many different ways that I could tell the story of my year. One way is through numbers. It doesn’t tell the whole story, but it gives a good sense of my journey and a starting point to share what shaped my year.

Playing around with grid-lanes in a personal project. I 💟 love feature queries. I like that the syntax takes advantage of existing code in CSS grid. So much easier to learn.

Last weeknote for 2025. I wrote a weeknote every week this year. It was not a goal that I set for myself but it motivated me at the end of the year to keep up because I knew I had a shot at hitting every week.

The work slowed down a little bit this week so I took some time to learn about web components, JavaScript, and subgrid. I also enjoyed celebrating my birthday with most of my family (just missing my son).
