December 2025 Recap // Closing the year’s archive
Hi all,
I realised last month that I’d been titling these recap posts by the month of publication, instead of the month being recounted 🤦♀️
Since this is an end-of-year recap, it gathers my December updates and closes out the 2025 archive with a few selected highlights from the year.
Moving forward, monthly recaps will follow a simpler rhythm where the title reflects the month being recapped.
I’m keeping this structure flexible: if I take a break or have a quieter month, I’ll post a shorter recap or skip as needed.
The goal is momentum, not perfection.
📝 P.S. If you’d like to follow these monthly recaps, you can subscribe via RSS or Bluesky.
✶ 2025 Highlights
1. 🗺️ Micro Year of Exploration
A trio of obscure site visits as part of an Obscurium project.
2. Creative Projects Page
A consolidated archive of sketches, poems, and YouTube vids that evolved throughout the year.
3. Mythic Milestones
A curated record of symbolic moments and website achievements or collaborations since 1999.
4. Grand Cultural Award
Received a Cultural Award from Obscurium for creative contributions.
This also reminded me of the charming earlier awards (from late 90s to mid-2000s) that still make me smile.
5. Reclaiming Dragonsinn.com
A long-awaited moment of digital joy: securing the original domain after more than two decades.
