Field Notes
This issue... like next month's is being published in the middle of April. Long overdue! There's no excuse except the beauty and curse of having a site: it's an infinite time sink of delightful projects and potential.
This was an excellent twenty-eight days for reading. So many great books were read, including a few paperbacks, which were missed after months of only electronic formats.
Participated in the IndieWeb Blog Carnival for the first time, which was great! The idea is encouraging people to post on their sites more often. It fits the bill! I've signed up to be a host, but that's not until 2026! Still something to look forward to, as far into the future as it is.
Sara hosted a special IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club meeting about writing, so I attended! The conversations were fascinating and varied. I'd love to host one in the future. I also attended the monthly 32 Bit Cafe webweaving workshop for the first time. Such fun!
This February was, as it always is, a short, yet pleasant month.
