December Adventure
This is a log of my December Adventure, a thing started by eli_oat online, to pick a personal project (with a tilt towards code, but doesn't have to be), and work on it a little every day in December. I'm giving it a whirl because (1) it sounds fun, (2) I am hoping it will help me lower the activation energy for creative projects in 2026, and (3) it might be nice to connect with other people doing the same thing at the same time.

Goal for day 1 is to build this log. I stumbled upon this December Adventure thing on Mastodon, and it feels like a nice way to make some progress on things with minimal pressure, which is the level I’m on these days.
I built it as a custom micro-site within my existing Hugo site, which is somewhat against the spirit of Hugo sites (I think) but is super easy and fast to spin up by just creating a new content folder with hugo new, a baseof.html and list.html in a custom layout, and custom css.
This is also an interesting exercise in GOOD ENOUGH because it is not conducive to navel-gazing pixel pushing (unless said navel-gazing pixel pushing ends up as something tangible).
