I missed the last year or two of celebrating the Bean on its anniversary. We’re getting pretty old here, but I’ve been through so many migrations its a little hard to tell how old. I can say for sure that the Bean, as a blog, was started in December of 2007. Happy 14th birthday, Bean! 2007 is also when theLeEMSmachine.com first came about, giving a really real URL to a website I had build at the old Angelfire free pages in 2002. So, happy 19th to LeEtta’s online persona? Only, I am not sure of the month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I migrated to a new internet host and started using WordPress for the Bean in 2010 I lost a lot of the original Bean content. I also decided it was an opportunity to change the way I blog – less consumption, more production, and I think it has worked out rather well. Since 2010 we’ve had over 1,100 posts, mostly drawing, a lot of comics, and, especially lately, a handful of research: <\/p>\n\n\n

I can’t say I was super productive drawing wise this year, but I have dug up a handful of year in review doodles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those of you who sometimes drop in on my comics, like Levi Levi<\/a> and No Evil<\/a>, I am still working on those and more. I also have a handful of zine projects ongoing that I will be dedicating more time to. This is starting to sound like a new years resolution post, too. Well, there you have it. Thank you all for stopping by and for hanging in with me! I hope you like what you see most days. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
