The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.\n\nThanos. Avengers are wizards; Thanos is a prophet.\n\nFrustration. Applying the principle of least power to tools and technologies.\n\nThe G\u0119si\u00f3wka Story. Republishing a forgotten piece of history.\n\nRobustness and least power. A tale of two principles.\n\nPreparing a conference talk. The four steps I took in putting together a presentation.\n\nPrototypes and production. Don\u2019t build prototypes with a production mindset. Don\u2019t release prototype code into production.\nA lot of my writing in 2018 was on technical topics\u2014front-end development, service workers, and so on\u2014but I should really make more of an effort to write about a wider range of topics. I always like when Zeldman writes about his glamourous life. Maybe in 2019 I\u2019ll spend more time letting you know what I had for lunch.\n\nI really enjoy writing words on this website. If I go too long between blog posts, I start to feel antsy. The only relief is to move my fingers up and down on the keyboard and publish something. Sounds like a bit of an addiction, doesn\u2019t it? Well, as habits go, this is probably one of my healthier ones.\n\nThanks for reading my words in 2018. I didn\u2019t write them for you\u2014I wrote them for me\u2014but it\u2019s always nice when they resonate with others. I\u2019ll keep on writing my brains out in 2019.",

If it doesn\u2019t, I don\u2019t care. My goal in 2019 is to use crypto currency (likely Bitcoin or Ether?) to pay for some every day mundane things. My goal is to transact the equivalent of around $10,000 USD in some form of crypto during the course of the year. That could be accepting crypto or spending crypto.
