A few weeks ago I was watching the first Democratic primary debate for New York City mayor.

One of the things on my to do list has been to take a closer look at CMS options for Eleventy.

It’s the time of year when I make the annual Kentucky Derby Magic 8 Ball.

I subscribe to a lot of useful newsletters.

Finally!

I was going to title this ‘Chugging long’ but inadvertently saved the markdown file as ugging-along, so ugging along it is.

In keeping with my end of the year to-do list I was able to give the Random Replay Generator a little spiffing up.

One of my favorite ways to learn is to look around repositories to see different approaches, or figure out how to do something.

Update April 2, 2021: Since writing this article I figured out how to filter on a single API call and have updated the Listing by tag or category and Listing by recently added sections to reflect those approaches.

Not long after writing about the status of Horse Racing Datasets and how, after a couple of weeks of fiddling with a proof of concept, I had decided to transition it to use markdown files instead of Airtable, I decided to give Airtable a proper shot.

A quick note to keep myself honest about some upcoming work… Horse Racing Datasets (permalink) For the past couple of weeks I’ve been working on a proof of concept for moving Horse Racing Datasets to Eleventy.

Recently I converted an old project from WordPress to Eleventy.

One of the Quick Tips in the Eleventy Docs is how to inline minified CSS.

I’ve been having fun fiddling around with the new site, making little changes here there, cleaning up this and that.

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a personal site beyond my side-projects, and I’ve been wanting to change that for a while.

This useful post on maintaining utility class components recently made its way into my timeline, inspiring me to write up a similar approach I used to make maintaining this site a little easier.
