Happy 2021, everyone! 2020 has been something, hasn’t it?

On xykademiqz, I’ve had periods of intense blogging and periods of, ahem, no blogging at all. But I’m not going anywhere and plan to blog, as I have in the past, when I have something to say. December has been a bit dry, but I hope to be back with 1-2 posts per week in the new year.

Here’s 2020 in a nutshell, based on WordPress stats.
