Dragonsinn EOY Recap – 2025

December 2025 and end-of-year recap: highlights, updates, and 2026 plans.

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.
