Happy New Year and Happy Travels!
I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the progress that I have made in 2016. I officially kicked off the capitals project with my trip to Sacramento in early October. Since then, I have made steady progress by visiting Carson City in late October, Salt Lake City in late November, and I just returned from a trip to Frankfort. I started this project to figure out what all the fuss was about in various state capitals and so far I have not been disappointed. Each city that I have visited has been better than the last one and I am consistently surprised and inspired by the people, places, and things that I see.
Blog Statistics
Since this blog was started, there has been a steady increase in readership. I am excited to have 7 subscribers (I admit they are all people that I know) and 239 views for the year.
The most popular post has been my book review of “A Short History of Carson City”.
Unsurprisingly, most of my referral traffic has come from Twitter (apologizes to all of my followers).
Looking ahead to 2017
I am going to start the year off right by knocking out one capital the first week of 2017. I am planning on going to Austin, TX next week and I can’t wait! I have not yet decided where else I am going to go this year, but the plan remains to visit one capital per month.I am looking forward to what is in store for 2017. Wishing everyone a very happy New Year!

In game development, there is this strange effect known as “tunneling.” It happens when you do collision detection. Imagine a simple situation where every time you move a cube, you also test whether it touches the wall – and if it does, you make it bounce...
