    Etna California. Hoooooly shit it’s small. I grew up in a very, VERY small place, and I’m getting some serious home vibes from this place.

    One year in, but what’s next for us? Kate talk a bit about some of the thoughts swirling in our mind about balance and our future.

    I’m finding that during this 30-day stay, I fill my head with work, projects, and a lot of coding. Kate fills hers with much more important things.

    When we’re on the road, we talk about these things extensively. It rounds me out, I think.

    In light of the recent upgrades to Underpin, I spent this evening giving the theme boilerplate a little love.

    Hopefully the documentation upgrades will make it more-obvious how you’re supposed to use it.

    I get queasy when I need to make a WordPress Widget. Setting up the fields, rendering the HTML, and getting fields to actually save is a PAIN.

    Which is why Underpin’s Widget loader is one of my favorite loaders. It makes creating widgets less-painful.

    Making some progress with making Underpin more-modular. It was so monolithic, and I think will benefit from being broken up a bit.

    Side bonus – every loader gets a readme now, so the documentation is a bit stronger.

    Beware – copypasta and typos abound!

    Cleaning up my GitHub repos today. Moving some, deleting many, archiving a few, and publishing some as well.

    I just got a free $45 dollar bottle of wine from a local winery entrepreneur. Told him what I tasted and I’m pretty sure I offended him so much that he walked away.

    Which sucks because the wine is REALLY good.

    -Ben bursts out door- WE NEED TO GO TO SPACE SOON.

    -Me- I agree.

    -Ben- I wan to go to the moon!

    -Me- Me too!

    -Ben- I want to see some aliens.

    -Me- Me too. I know what he meant – “I want to go to space, land on the moon, and see the aliens”, but it was communicated as “I want to go to space”, “I want to go to the moon”, “I would also like to see aliens”.

    So, I said “Me too” to each.
