- It seems that standalone pages can be created on Old School blogs... just gotta figure out the nuances.#
- From Dave's Notes:#
- Standalone pages. If you want to do an About page for your blog, this is how you do it.#
- Create a new sub-outline, outside the calendar structure. A headline is in the calendar structure if it has a name att or it is contained within a node with a name att.#

- Had a blast today cheering on some folks that were running the 127th Annual Boston Marathon. #
- The app for the event is spectacular, with live-updating location trackers for each runner! #
- We pre-saved the bib #s for people that we knew were running, which made it easy to check in on their progress as they each progressed through the course.#
- It sounds like the event experience was spectacular for the runners. One friend said "I must have given a thousand high-fives" and that there were spectators along the entire way.#
- I can only imaging the rush of adrenaline making that final turn onto Boylston Street with the crowds cheering you on.#

- Here is the oldschool.buildblog verb, that's gotta be useful!#

- It's interesting how dealing with spaces that represent stuck energy have an alleviating effect in the mind. Feels like closing a bunch of open loops, or dealing with a nagging issue. #
