25 Dec Looking back at 2017

As we draw nearer to the end of 2017, I'm beginning to reflect upon this year and all that has happened. [Google](https://google.com/2017) has done a great job with the [year in search](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI4LHl4yFuo) video, and I highly recommend that you take a look to see the year summarized in a short-but-great 2 minute video. For me, this has been an interesting year indeed. Living in Chicago has been going OK, and I've definitely learned a lot in many aspects. This year, I gave my first talk at a [developer conference](http://2017.jsdc.tw/). I launched the first private beta of [Free Pee 2](https://www.iqwerty.net/freepee2/m). I finally began seriously practicing Chopin's Revolutionary Étude. I flew more than 60,000 miles.
