Palindromic Re-base/launch

blows off the long accumulated dust

After many years of being a less than attentive steward of this site, I've finally gotten things in gear and finalized the transition from Middleman to 11ty+Parcel. This comes over 6 months after beginning the journey on another of this once-in-a-century palindromic days (depending on your datetime formatting preferences), 2020-05-05.

Many thanks must be given to Andrew Kvalheim for all of his enthusiasm and assistance in navigating both of these SSGs. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that many of the opinionated decisions are thanks to the IndieWeb community which codified many of my long-held ideals about the purpose of a "personal homepage".

While this post is going to be kept short for the sake of returning to my birthday, I do intend to keep the content coming. To that end, here is a preview of a project I have been working on during this most auspicious year of 2020.
