Batman The New 52 Vol 1-2
The Court of Owls & The City of Owls. I’d heard these were good from multiple people so I decided to check them out and wow yes they are. Enough to make me buy the rest of the Scott Snyder run. I only wish DC had been making movies of this Batman rather than the trash they’ve been putting in the cinemas.

MacGruber
This is a follow up TV show to the 2010 (wow has it been that long!?) movie. It’s pretty great, star studded, great writing, very funny. The TV format suits it a lot more too.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife
The Ready Player One of Ghostbuster movies. This thing was only made in order to please all the people who piled on online when the Paul Feig one was announced and it shows. Remember proton packs? Remember marshmallow man? Remember Twinkies?

The Matrix Resurrections
Everyone seems to have hated this but I quite enjoyed it. It takes nothing away from the story of the earlier movies and finally gives Neo and Trinity a decent send off. I only hope they don’t use this as a jumping off point to make endless sequels.

Sequential CSS Transitions
While making this journal I discovered a neat trick for animating list elements sequentially without having to use javascript.
Hello, World
When I did my 2021 end of year review in work recently, I realised that by being completely lazy towards documenting the things I’ve been doing I was hurting myself. I didn’t have any grasp on the things I accomplished, learned, or how I grew. I had nothing to point me towards any future goals.
So I made myself a New Year’s Resolution that I would start keeping a journal and that’s what this is. My plan is to write about myself and the things I did, with monthly summaries so that at the end of 2022 I can look back at this to help me plan for the following year. I am terrible at keeping things like this so let’s see how that goes.
As this is a new blog it’s obligatory to write something about how you made it. It’s got an API running off a cheap Ghost CMS droplet on Digital Ocean and a Vue CLI single page app frontend hosted on a free Netlify account. I guess that’s called a JAM Stack or something.
Update I got sick of duplicating my local markdown writing in Ghost CMS so I converted the site to Hugo.
