Happy New Year 2024!

New year, new techo!

My focus for this year is to do Future Me a solid.

Future Me will be glad to have 2024 more well-documented in my blog than the past couple of years have been, too.

As soon as I hit Publish on this quick check-in, it’ll be back to the usual routine of working from home.
