This is old news to some, but my wife and I are expecting a baby early in this new year. Please say a prayer that everything goes well! (No, we don't know the gender; and no, we will not be sharing pictures or other info publicly at this time, Mr. Zuckerberg's thoughts on privacy notwithstanding!)
On another note, I have at least five large bits of writing that I'm still working on—a photography book, a few articles and tutorials for this site, and some other things. Hopefully I'll be able to find some time to get thoughts on paperscreen soon!
For now, check out some of these popular bits from 2012 you may have missed:
- iPhone/iPad external microphones (article is still up-to-date after a few years and three iPhones later... by far the most popular article on this site)
- CNMC 2012 Wrap-up (another year, another Catholic New Media Conference)
- iPhone 5 Review and External Microphone Comparison (seems like a trend...)
- Crestwood Mall - Ghost Town (another dead mall in St. Louis)
- My Workstation - 2012 Edition (I have more posts about my work area coming!)
In addition to helping Flocknote grow by leaps and bounds this past year, I've launched Server Check.in, a website monitoring service, moved into a new home (giving me incentive to write about things like Tips and Tools for New Homeowners), and done a ton of Drupal development. Not a bad year!
