+description: "Introducing my 2024 #DecemberAdventure"
+draft: true
+---
+
+Last year I enjoyed doing a [December
+Adventure](https://eli.li/december-adventure), so I plan to do it again.
+
+My life feels a bit busier than it did a year ago. I have more
+responsibilities at my job now that I've been there over a year, and tending
+to the needs of my youngest child seems to take a bit more of my emotional
+energy. So instead of attempting anything challenging, I'm hoping to futz
+around with a few computer things. I don't know how many will even qualify
+as "programming" per se, but they're generally coding-adjacent. Some of my
+ideas:
+
+- Make improvements to my blog here, and how I author it
+- Figure out how to better do some things in (neo)vim
+- Automate a couple infrequent but tedious tasks
+
+I might play with new languages or paradigms (because it's fun), but that's
+not a high priority this month.
+
+E.g.: today I added [Open Graph](https://ogp.me/) metadata to my Hugo
+template so that my posts will look better on the Fediverse. I got most of
+what I needed from these posts:
+
+- [Mastodon and Open
+ Graph](https://leancrew.com/all-this/2023/02/mastodon-and-open-graph/)
+- [Blog
+ Previews](https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2023/05/08/Blog-Preview)
+
+I recently tweaked my pixel art favicon and I like the colors better, and my
+default card image is a larger version of that. In a later update I'd like
+to use post-specific previews, but this is a start.
