It was an exciting day, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://www.skycombatace.com/">I got to fly a plane, dogfight another</a>, and do some aerobatics like a tumble, which was pretty much the coolest thing ever. Unusually for me, I managed to stay away from my computer the entire weekend, instead spending time eating, drinking, and dancing with a few friends who were also in Las Vegas. I came back online to some very sweet birthday blogs (thank you <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2013/01/09/happy-birthday-and-anniversary-matt-mullenweg/">Lorelle</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://wpengine.com/2013/01/happy-29th-birthday-matt/">Austin</a>, and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://wpdaily.co/birthday-matt-2013/">John</a>!) and of course a number of nice messages on Facebook and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://twitter.com/photomatt">Twitter</a>. All in all, extremely pleasant.</p> <p>I travelled more this year than I ever have before, covering 261,077 miles in 292 days away from San Francisco (79 cities, 11 countries).</p> <p>From the outside my life sometimes can appear crazy, and my 20s have been atypical in many ways, but one of the things I appreciate the most about this past year is that things have been getting less hectic overall. Much of this I attribute technology which I’ve finally gotten to a point where the majority of it in my life serves to allow me to spend doing things I love, like writing, designing, coding, learning, and less time on infrastructure or overhead.</p> <p>The most interesting thing about twenty-nine so far is I’ve been getting lots of tips from people on how to end my 20s, which usually fall under “go out with a bang” from people currently in their 20s and “don’t worry it just gets better from here” from people in their 30s.</p> <p>My focus this year will be on simplification and streamlining. As in many years past, I find I’m the most balanced when I take time every day to read, especially in the morning, and as an additional resolution this year I’m trying to watch a film every week recommended by friends. (So far have seen My Fair Lady, Casablanca, King Corn, and American President.)</p> <p>Previous years: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://ma.tt/2003/01/bday/">19</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://ma.tt/2004/01/so-im-20/">20</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://ma.tt/2005/01/hot-barely-legal-matt/">21</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://ma.tt/2006/01/matt-22/">22</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://ma.tt/2007/01/twenty-three/">23</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://ma.tt/2008/01/twenty-four/">24</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://ma.tt/2009/01/twenty-five/">25</a>, and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://ma.tt/2010/01/twenty-six/">26</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://ma.tt/2011/01/twenty-seven/">27</a>, and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://ma.tt/2012/01/twenty-eight/">28</a>.</p>  </div> </article><article> <div class="datedot"> <abbr class="published" title="2013-01-17T16:49:38+00:00"> <span class="month">Jan</span><br/> <span class="day">17</span> </abbr> </div> <div class="post-42103 post type-post status-publish format-link hentry category-asides entry-content"> <a class="entry-comment-count" title="Comments on New WP.com聽Reader" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://ma.tt/2013/01/new-wp-com-reader/#comments"> <span class="count">5</span> </a> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/responsive-wp-com/">The new reader for WordPress.com is live</a> and I’m really proud of the product and the team.   <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://ma.tt/2013/01/new-wp-com-reader/">∞</a></p>  </div> <div class="post-42102 post type-post status-publish format-aside hentry category-asides entry-content"> <div class="single-dashed"></div> <a class="entry-comment-count" title="Comments on Facebook聽Praise" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130128010309/http://ma.tt/2013/01/facebook-praise/#comments"> <span class="count">4</span> </a> <p>“For one experiment in the study, Wilcox and Stephen asked 84 study participants to either browse Facebook or read CNN.com for five minutes.
