+_Slow, like the world was on pause. Everyone else off celebrating while I hung out in the quiet of home._
+
+## Shipped
+
+Built a pantry inventory app to track dry goods, herbs, and spices. It already proved useful when it reminded me about a bag of self-rising flour I needed to use up.
+
+Also finished a five-video series of fairy-themed foods for CONpossible (this year's theme: "Through the Fairy Ring"). Each one runs about a minute, short promotional pieces that'll also go up on the Random Recipe Project channel.
+
+## Read
+
+Honestly, not much. I've been writing more than reading lately, and I'm making peace with that. Didn't come close to my already modest 2025 reading goal, but the words have been flowing in the other direction.
+
+## Played
+
+Had a great Gloomhaven session on Sunday. We're all nearing retirement for our third round of mercenaries and deep into the main storyline. The end is in sight, which makes every session feel weightier.
+
+## Cooked
+
+The only standalone butcher shop in town closed for good on Christmas Eve. I bought two full racks of spareribs from them as a send-off and smoked them for six hours on Wednesday. First time I'd fired up the smoker in two years. I ordered replacement parts so I can get back to using it regularly. Made a big southern squash casserole to go alongside.
+
+That pantry app earned its keep when it surfaced a bag of self-rising flour, so I made buttermilk biscuits from scratch with sausage gravy. Also picked up some alcoholic eggnog for our morning coffees this week. A little somethin' somethin'.
+
+## Noticed
+
+Last week was bitter cold. This week bounced to nearly 80°F on Christmas Day. Georgia.
+
+## Thinking About
+
+Just starting a new project at work, a simple web app on a limited budget. The kind of thing I could do in my sleep. Times are slow and lean right now, though, and the temptation is to throw everyone and everything at it just to keep people busy. I'm pushing back. We need to know how to do small, lean projects repeatedly and in parallel. That seems to be where the industry is headed.
+
+## What's Next
+
+My kids were both gone this week, and my partner and I don't really celebrate Christmas, so it was genuinely quiet. Next week they'll both be here, including my eldest who's about to start their final semester of college. We'll do what we call "Second Christmas," running through the traditions on time delay. Works better for us.

+
+My kids were home together this week for what we call "second Christmas"—the post-holiday stretch when everyone's schedules finally align. While planning the dinner menu, they made a request: a Yule log cake.
+
+We used to get one every year from Linda Johnson of [Sylvan Falls Mill](https://northeastgeorgia.locallygrown.net/growers/1646), a miller and baker who sold at my farmers market. She made a gluten-free version, which mattered because my eldest is celiac. It was always a special treat, the kind of thing that becomes part of your family's holiday vocabulary without you noticing until it's gone.
+
+With less than two days before dinner and a full menu to prepare, I told them it seemed really intimidating. I'd never made one. But I said I'd try.
+
+I've baked their birthday cakes every single year, all their lives. They describe what they want and I try to make it happen. Some years are triumphs. Some years are laughable catastrophes that we still talk about. But every year there's cake. This felt like the same deal.
+
+{{< figure src="cranberries.jpg" alt="Fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs coated in sugar, drying on parchment paper." caption="Sugared cranberries and rosemary, made the night before." >}}
+
+I started with a box of King Arthur's gluten-free chocolate cake mix—no shame in a good shortcut—but I needed to turn it into something that could roll without shattering. The technique I borrowed from [Sally's Baking Addiction](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/buche-de-noel-yule-log/) calls for separating eggs, whipping the whites to stiff peaks, and folding everything together for an airy sponge. I added two extra eggs beyond what the box called for and crossed my fingers.
+
+The cake looked great coming out of the oven. I rolled it while hot in a cocoa-dusted towel, let it cool for three hours, and felt cautiously optimistic.
+
+Then I unrolled it.
+
+The cake had split into sections a few inches wide. It had decided to become a kit.
+
+{{< figure src="disaster.jpg" alt="Unrolled chocolate cake split into several vertical sections, with whipped cream filling visible in the cracks." caption="The kit." >}}
+
+I stood there for a moment, weighing my options. Then I decided to act like nothing was wrong. I spread the whipped cream filling over the pieces, rolled the whole thing back up as tightly as I could manage, wrapped the towel around the outside, and put it in the fridge overnight to think about what it had done.
+
+{{< figure src="mushrooms.jpg" alt="Small meringue mushrooms with piped stems and caps, dusted with cocoa powder, standing on a silicone baking mat." caption="Meringue mushrooms, dusted with cocoa." >}}
+
+The next day, when it came time to cut the diagonal branch piece and assemble it on the board for ganache, the log barely held its shape. I worked fast. The ganache went on, I dragged a fork through it for bark texture, and suddenly it looked like an actual Yule log instead of a chocolate-flavored anxiety dream.
+
+{{< figure src="bark.jpg" alt="Chocolate yule log covered in ganache with fork-dragged bark texture, before decorations, showing the spiral of cake and cream at the cut end." caption="Bark texture achieved. Now it just needs a forest." >}}
+
+The garnishes helped. I'd made sugared cranberries and rosemary the night before—just a simple syrup soak and a tumble in sugar, but they sparkle like little frozen gems. The meringue mushrooms took longer than expected (piping stems and caps separately, baking low and slow, gluing them together with melted chocolate) but they're the detail that makes the whole thing feel like a forest floor instead of just a frosted cake.
+
+{{< figure src="forest-floor.jpg" alt="Close-up of decorated yule log with meringue mushrooms, sugared cranberries, and rosemary sprigs on chocolate ganache bark." caption="The forest floor." >}}
+
+When I brought it to the table, my kids lit up. It held together when sliced—somehow—and they said it reminded them of the Sylvan Falls version while being its own thing. The almond flour base from the market version was different, but this worked.
+
+Linda still sells at another market these days, up in Northeast Georgia. Still using my LocallyGrown software, which makes me unreasonably happy. The web of connections from that market keeps surprising me—people I haven't seen in years, still linked by the tools we built together.
+
+I'd make this again. Maybe it'll be a new tradition. Next time might be a perfect specimen, or I might have to pivot to calling it "a decaying log on the forest floor." Either way, there'll be cake.
+
+{{< figure src="finished.jpg" alt="Overhead view of completed yule log cake decorated with meringue mushrooms, sugared cranberries, and sugared rosemary on a wooden cutting board." caption="Second Christmas, 2025." >}}

+_Our time-shifted Christmas week was really peaceful. A couple more days before going back to work on Monday, and I'm trying to make the most of it._
+
+## Shipped
+
+Took most of the week off for the holidays with both kids here. Still managed to nearly complete a new client project we'd budgeted the entire month of January for, in about ten hours of work. Our first status call isn't until Tuesday and I've already got something over 90% of the way there. Sometimes things just come together in a near-perfect way, and I live for those moments.
+
+On the other side, I spun down a SaaS product that never really came to fruition. There were many reasons why it didn't succeed, but it was still sad to turn off those lights.
+
+## Read
+
+Nothing this week, but something jumped right to the top of my to-read pile: _Automatic Noodle_ by Annalee Newitz. Deactivated robots come back online in an abandoned ghost kitchen and decide to make their own way doing what they know: hand-pulled noodles for the humans of San Francisco, who are recovering from a devastating war. Robots, food, post-apocalyptic city life? Right up my alley. I might shelve _Service Model_ temporarily so I can devour this one.
+
+## Played
+
+My Gloomhaven group won't be able to meet for a while, but the digital edition was on sale on Xbox for $20, complete edition. I put almost twenty hours into it this week and have only beaten two scenarios in all that time.
+
+I know how to play the game really well, but the UI of the digital edition is beyond frustrating. So many things are undocumented, and I'm still figuring out how to do simple things like see the map while planning my round. My biggest gripe is that there's no undo function, and it's trivially easy to ruin a thought-out plan with one wrong button press. The closest they have is "restart round," which can mean losing half an hour of progress.
+
+## Cooked
+
+We had our Christmas meal this week. The kids chose ham, so I grabbed a big bone-in one on an after-Christmas sale (one of the benefits of Second Christmas) and used the included cherry vanilla cola glaze instead of my usual approach. Not terrible. We're still eating it several days later, but it's mostly gone. I also made baked potatoes, a big fruit salad, and a garlic-ginger stir-fried broccoli that turned out fantastic as a baked potato topper. Oh, and gluten-free cornbread.
+
+The showstopper was the gluten-free yule log cake I largely winged and [documented on the blog](https://blog.kestrelsnest.social/posts/2026-01-01-either-way-therell-be-cake/).
+
+The following night I set up an omelette station for dinner, which reminded me of one of my many college jobs in the campus cafeteria, where I often got to run the omelette station.
+
+## Noticed
+
+Cold and a little rainy, which made for good cozy time inside gaming and cooking.
+
+## Thinking About
+
+I'm on staff for two conventions in the next six weeks. The first is a cakewalk: sole technical troubleshooter for presenters all weekend at a tiki culture convention. I can do that work in my sleep or, as is the case here, with a different rum-based drink in each hand.
+
+The other one is a steampunk-adjacent convention where I serve as costuming track director, and I'm really feeling the crunch on that one.
+
+The five fairy food videos I made for CONpossible have been going live every other day and have been well received. YouTube is inscrutable as ever, but they've netted me several thousand views and a bunch of new subscribers. The con's social media team will be posting their versions in the coming weeks.
+
+## What's Next
+
+My youngest starts back to school Tuesday, beginning the second semester of sophomore year with a new slate of classes. She turns 16 in a month, so I need to start thinking about that. My eldest returns to college this weekend, so there's lots of coordinating to manage over the next few days.

+        <h2>Statement on the Use of AI</h2>
+        <div class="ai-statement">
+          <p>I use AI-assisted development tools extensively, and I've been deliberate about how.</p>
+          <p>The hype around AI makes it trivial to abdicate responsibility. Developers generate prodigious amounts of unmaintainable code that technically works for the happy path, call it productivity, and move on. I find that approach corrosive to the craft.</p>
+          <p>What I embrace is assistive AI: tools that amplify the skills I've spent forty years developing. They remove mechanical friction (transcription, syntax lookup, boilerplate) so I can focus on architecture, problem-solving, and building software that serves real humans. The thinking is mine. The decisions are mine. The responsibility is mine.</p>
+          <p>I name my AI coding agents after people who inspire me: George Washington Carver, Ray Eames, Ada Lovelace. The tools don't have personalities, but the names remind me who the work is for. They're lenses that focus intent, not collaborators with agency.</p>
+          <p>I've written extensively about this philosophy and regularly teach other developers how a more thoughtful approach can work, whether they've given in to abdication or been revulsed by it.</p>
