 =========================
 
 ## Notes
-This generally needs to be updated. 
+A mostly out-of-date wasteland of forgotten drafts and projects, but under revision.
 
-## Description
-Still a work in progress. this was a bit of a learning project for me. While I've done bits of coding here and there, most of my life has been in the system administration and operations world.
+I attempted a few transitions to another static site generator (like [Ghost](https://ghost.org/)) but abandoned the effort and at the end of it keeping the theme and structure here was sufficient. Why refactor a non-monetized low volume site just to create toil? 
 
-I had been very casually dabbling in various other languages through <insert name of random learn to code site or MOOC here> as it seemed like a good idea to beef up my coding skills. While wandering in the quagmire of coding languages, frameworks and backends, I dropped into Ruby's gravitational field and found myself hooked.
-
-I found GitHub pages to be a very convenient place for hosting, and then I learned about Jekyll and grew very interested in the idea of static site generators.
-
-From a non-technical perspective, there are several other reasons that I was attracted to Ruby (and further, Rails):
-- Community
-- RailsGirls
-- Cool logo
-- Jekyll has been fun and for the most part, rather friendly
-
-From a technical perspective:
-- Ruby knowledge will be applicable to Puppet/Chef
-- Rails while heavy is quick and easy to get running, good for prototyping
-
-I don't have enough of the foundations and fundamentals of down to speak to any of the other technical reasons that ruby may excel over <some other programming language> but hope to discover this somewhere through this journey.
+Currently though, the most recent work here springs from the desire to maintain hands-on skills while my role transitions from more technical systems to human systems. 
 
 ## Colophon
 
 Jekyll theme based on [Grayscale bootstrap theme ](http://ironsummitmedia.github.io/startbootstrap-grayscale/)  
 [Font Awesome](http://fontawesome.io/) for the iconography  
 
-Lovingly created with [Atom](http://www.atom.io)

-Reference sites I used while learning:

-and other resources I used to be added here soon once I can dig back through bookmarks and notes :)
