A month of celebration, friends, family, and the leaves turning a perfect shade of red and gold.
It’s cliche, sure, but I’m reminded of how much in my life I have to be thankful for.

One of the awesome parts of running your own blog is that it is an archive of everything you’ve written over the years that you have complete control over. However, as the years go on, I realized that I don’t have a place where I can keep a nice tidy archive of my favorite things (or pieces I think are noteworthy) I’ve written. A place to document the various series or long-form pieces I’m proud of and the reviews that I think stand out above the others.
This is now that place.

How are we in the middle of November already? How?
Each year I put together a small gift guide post full of things that I think make great gifts and are a lot of fun to give or receive for the holidays. Everything on the list is something I’ve used, enjoyed, and recommend. I have recommendations posts for software, headphones, and miscellaneous stuff around the house, so the things on this list will be more focused on stuff not included in those posts and geared toward things I’ve come across in the past year or so and think would make good gifts.
I used my Amazon affiliate link when the product showed up there, which gives our website a slight percentage back if you make a purchase and helps fund our continued existence.
If you’d like to get me a gift, becoming a supporting member or gifting another user a supporting membership for a year would mean the world to me. And, if you’re looking for something in just about any price range with a Chorus.fm or AbsolutePunk.net logo on it, check our merch shop.

October was spent continuing to move into our new home, finalizing unpacking, ordering and putting in new furniture, and making the place feel more like “ours.” The little touches of absurd nerdery helped. We took some time to visit pumpkin patches, attend my sister’s annual Halloween party, and I (shocking, I know) even found time to spin a few records. We’re one dining room table delivery and a window covering install away from being pretty much done with the move. And I’m really looking forward to things settling down and finding a routine again; especially as we move into my favorite time of the year.
