1. i should be allowed to drop some words in some sentences and some letters in some words

2. It’s a secret to everybody. I put my sourdough starter in the little closet under the stairs where my home server and network gear is when I feed it on weekends in the winter.

   the actual work of getting it to build was mostly fighting with the cruft of fads and new-things (shtml, textpattern, wordpress, octopress, etc) and incredible journeys ( https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/) and stuff I’d divested from over whatever reasons seemed sufficient at the time. Oh, we are all protest-deleting our github accounts now? Ok, I can do that. Oh, flickr got acquired and is being weird? Cya. tumblr too? bummer.

   anyway, 11ty seems nice

5. I can hear this hooky Newmanesque chorus (or a much better one probably) getting played at Giants games and everything

   Oh, San Francisco

   Oh, I gotta go
