Digest for April 2017
Summary
This month, I experimented with web technologies to which I'd been introduced at Render Conf, developed a websockets-and-orientation-sensor controlled game called Steer!, and looked back on the ways that I'm still affected by an abusive relationship that ended a decade and a half prior. I shared an XKCD comic.

Couldn't find GCZ51Y Eddie Confesses
This checkin to GCZ51Y Eddie Confesses reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
