1. 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.

  2. most of the content is even more personally embarrassing than it was when I blew it away last time, six years ago. No one should have to reconcile with specific texts of their own teens, twenties, or thirties, which was the explicit reason I used to keep it up, until I didn’t believe it anymore: the unexamined life, blah, blah, blah

  3. got my old 1999-2011 blog ( https://web.archive.org/web/20170709060307/http://archives.grantstavely.com/ to build with 11ty ( http://11ty.dev ) during idle time over the past few weekends. I don’t know if it’s even possible or coherent to rebuild the 2011-2018 tumblr ( https://web.archive.org/web/20180330002228/https://grantstavely.com/) I replaced it with

    anyway, 11ty seems nice

  4. Afternoon Walk

    An eight and a quarter mile (13 and a half kilometer), 62 foot (19 meter) elevation walk over two and a quarter hours in San Francisco, California. About 16700 steps.

  5. someone who knows better has a hot tip that there is in fact a bathroom up the steps next to harmonic in thrive city (“yea, I’m going to the city next week”; some local “hey, we don’t say “the city” you sound like a damned tourist, we say whole ass name [enunciating carefully] Thrive city, c’mon.”)

    need to investigate this claim
