After 17 years of writing here, occasionally I’ll produce something I’m still proud of the next day, the next month, the next year, and even 10+ years later.

Allow me to please present some of those posts then, in reverse chronological order, which I hope you’ll all enjoy reading as much as I did researching and writing them, and still find informative and helpful. Combined, they can give you a pretty good overview of what this blog is ultimately about too.

Thanks for reading!
