My last “yearly” blog revival was actually in August 2017, which is actually more than a year ago … and this time I am motivated by the need to collect together all the different strands of ideas into slightly more coherent public writing.
And for various reasons, the 2018 version of revival really didn’t happen. Instead, I tried to write stuff in longhand and re-write for my blog, but neither the longhand nor re-writing was sufficiently regular.
