Is this thing [still] on? A 2019 Wrapup
What a year it’s been! I figured after months of silence, I’d wrap up 2019 with an update on where I’ve been this past year and what’s coming next year.

XOXO 2013: The Andy’s Strikes Back

I put together a highlight video of my experiences but realized that I hadn’t actually put that much into words to describe the…
