While 2015 did its best to cause turmoil in my personal life<\/a>, 2016 has left the world on a bit of a knife edge economically, politically and culturally.<\/p>\n

I’m afraid I don’t have any answers for the things that happened this year<\/a>. I’ve been as worried and scared about the state of the world as the rest of you, so all I can offer is reassurance that if you are anxious then just remember that there’s a lot of people out there in the same state of mind; we’re all in the same boat1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

It turns out that my decision to give blogging a miss this year<\/a> was well-timed, given all the strife in the world. On a personal level it’s actually been a pretty great year for me as I am now a home-owner2<\/a><\/sup> and have a marriage on the horizon for within the next few months. While I’ve been away from the blog I have genuinely been working on a few personal projects and hope to reveal some of them soon.<\/p>\n

With that said, this year’s entry to “The Year in Blogs” is a little sparse. However, my OCD demands that I create an entry for 2016 and so here it is! At the end of this post I’ll also make a few comments on 2017.<\/p>\n

Ten Years in the Making \u2013 the Mediocre Origins of Detulux Incorporated (Part 3)<\/a> – 25\/01<\/h2>\n

The final part of the Detulux Inc retrospective, in which we finally get to the good art! Spoilers: the good art isn’t by me.<\/p>\n

Home Is Where the Heart Is (but Mine Will Forever Belong to Another)<\/a> – 14\/02<\/h2>\n

A big gushy post aimed at my beloved Sam celebrating us moving in to our new home. Also something about losing one’s “sense of self”.<\/p>\n

A Year Without Blogging<\/a> – ALL DAMN YEAR!<\/h2>\n

It was pretty much a public service announcement. I made it in January and then caved to write the Valentine’s day post so the announcement moved.<\/p>\n

Going forward in 2017…<\/h2>\n

2014 was pretty bad. 2015 was worse. 2016 was a write-off. I’m not expecting much for 2017!<\/p>\n

That said, I would like to get some content back up on my various blogs again so I am going to endeavour to publish something once a month3<\/a><\/sup>. If people can find distraction in my writings then at least I’ve achieved something.<\/p>\n
