November is National Novel Writing Month, and I’m taking a novel1 approach to it (ha, get it? Never mind…)
Although not strictly speaking a novel, since I keep meaning to keep an active, interesting blog going—and keep finding myself too worried about “perfectionism” and what other might think to actually write after the first post or two—I’m making a commitment to writing a post a day, rain or shine.
I have a few ideas for upcoming posts, including old drafts I never finished2, a few micro-projects I’m working on, and probably some general non-tech but still geeky stuff.
Stay tuned. Really, I mean it this time.

Dependency Injection in Ruby
Dependency injection is a technique to decrease and make more explicit the coupling between two classes by moving a dependency from deep within the dependent class to its initializer.
On Simplicity
Over the past few years I’ve fallen into the habit of trying to start blogging regularly, only to fall into the same trap over and over. While I could rattle off the reasone, it really comes down to one thing: a lack of simplicity.
Welcome to Jekyll Bootstrap
Welcome to Jekyll Bootstrap, a new from-scratch iteration at a Jekyll theme,
written using Bootstrap v4. By default, the first paragraph will appear
in the index summary, complete with styling. If you define an excerpt_separator in the post’s
frontmatter, you can have more or fewer paragraphs in the index excerpts. Try it!
