“I’ll start by using frames to set up the framework for this new website.” The one-two punch of nostalgia and terror that is Andy Clarke’s Designing Your Site Like It’s 1998.

Posting from Drafts, via GitHub, through Jekyll on Netlify. micro.blog picks it up from there and mirrors to Twitter. The bit where a @draftsapp workflow creates the front matter and posts to GitHub’s REST API might merit a blog post. The rest is probably nuts.

The native Git integration in Atom is really nice. I’m an old-school everything-from-the-command-line guy, but even (especially) for partial, granular commits, I find myself staying in the editor most of the time.

Another advent calendar: the Performance Calendar presents 24 nuggets each year looking at web performance from often-surprising (to me) angles.

I keep wondering “why am I so tired?”
Then I remember we are watching our young nephews for a couple of days. I had forgotten what a relative luxury older kids are.

I spend enough time at enough Bash prompts editing enough random text files that I spend a decent chunk of each day forgetting which mode I’m in. The Vimways Advent Calendar just might make me slightly more useful in these situations.

Why yes, I am playing with micro.blog. (Non-)surprise! Manton and the gang are rattling off a variety of things their service can get up to, all of which look like fun, in 12 Days of Microblogging.

24 ways - the advent calendar for web geeks. This one is all over the place, in the best possible way. I’ve stolen liberally from the Service Workers article, and probably will do so with the Eleventy piece, as well.

In hindsight, an Advent Calendar of Advent Calendars would have been fun. Ah, what could have been.
I seem to have a fondness for Decembers full of “nuggets of wisdom from my area of expertise” posts.
I’m pretty comfortable with Git, but I still learn something new just about every time Ed Thomson posts something about it. His Git Tips and Tricks Advent Calendar is a terrific resource for pretty much any Git user, in the “trust me, I know things, this will make your life easier” vein.
