Tonight, after eight months of weekly progression, our Guild Wars 2 raid static finally killed Harvest Temple Challenge Mode! I want to write that sentence again, because I have been waiting eight months to write it.

I started blogging in 2000, and I never quite stopped — though there were stretches where I really, really did stop. The blog has lived in WordPress at movingparts.net for all of those twenty-six years, and during that time I’ve managed to make a few long-term-thinking mistakes.
Inspired by LifeHacker’s older post about making your own whiteboard for cheap, I bought a 4’x8’ sheet of dry erase board from Home Depot for $13.
