Today marks the 20th birthday of my Newgrounds account.


A lot has changed but I still visit every day to chill out on the BBS and chat, watch some toons, play some games, and blam some stuff in the Portal. I've made a bunch of lifelong friends here and I'm eternally grateful for them.


Thanks @TomFulp for sharing your silly little games on the web all those years ago. You created something truly special. Thanks for letting me be a part of it in my own little way.


Here's to 20 more!

I read 60 books in 2022. The most I've probably ever read in a year. I caught up on a couple of sci fi series I started in earlier years and joined the Patreon for Glynn Stewart and read a few of his series this year. Now that the wife and I are commuting together we started listening to audio books on our drives. We started with the Dark Tower series by Stephen King, then listened to the Children of Time books and started listening to the new audio version of Discworld. Until 2021 I mostly read one book at a time and listened to the audio version during my drives to work. Since we started listening to audiobooks together I've been keeping 2 books going at a time.


Since I re-read some old favorites I don't think I can do a top list for 2022. But some pleasant surprises have been the other books by Glynn Stewart that I read after joining his Patreon and starting the Bobiverse books by Dennis Taylor.
