What’s Up in the Neighborhood, January 3 2026

It’s a new year, it’s a new blog, and a new resolution of sorts.

This morning, I’m currently backing everything on my computers and flash drives onto a 16TB external hard drive. Then I’ll put all the flash drives and backup drives in storage, and this way my materials will remain protected over time. It’s also a good time for me to take care of myself. Which is fair.

And while the downloads and transfers take place, I’m still doing the Saturday blogroll recap. Check out the thoughts and blogs and photos from my friends on my blogroll. Enjoy.
