&lt;h2&gt;Why a new blog engine?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On my &lt;a class="reference external" href="http://pydanny.blogspot.com/"&gt;old blog&lt;/a&gt;, I had been having issues with Blogger for some time. The WYSIWYG text editor was annoying in that it produced wonky HTML, so I had to hand craft the posts. Which meant I often wrote the HTML formatted copy in a text editor and then copy/pasted it into the browser. A few times this blew up and I really wished I had version controlled back ups. Adding code examples was problematic, even with a stylesheet helpfully provided by Google. Finally, some of the changes to the blog engine itself were beginning to worry me, so I started looking for alternatives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After my fiancee, Audrey Roy, converted her blog to &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll"&gt;https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll&lt;/a&gt; at it's new location of &lt;a class="reference external" href="http://audreymroy.com"&gt;audreymroy.com&lt;/a&gt;, the static file hosting seemed so awesome I was impressed enough to &lt;a class="reference external" href="http://pydanny.com/tried-out-jekyll.html"&gt;give Jekyll a try&lt;/a&gt;. Why did Jekyll and static file hosting interest me so much?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Calendar About Nothing tracks your open project commits on &lt;a class="reference external" href="http://github.com"&gt;Github&lt;/a&gt;. It tallies your total number of days, records your longest streak, and lets you compare yourself against other committers. The idea comes from an &lt;a class="reference external" href="http://lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-secret?tag=softwaremotivation"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt; where Jerry Seinfeld says his secret to productivity is to get something done every day, because if you skip one day then skipping another day is easier.&lt;/p&gt;
