Yesterday Chris imported 470 old posts of his into his website and I was inspired to do the same.

The earliest posts I could think of were when I was writing reviews of various iPhone apps for iPhoneWorld.ca in 2009. Sadly the site has been offline a long time so I fired up the internet archive and managed to find 14 of those reviews. It's a goldmine of glorious pre-iOS7 design, check out all the posts with the #iPhoneWorldCA tag.

After that I wrote for a while for AppAdvice which does still exist but all my reviews are gone. Thankfully I had archived the 15 reviews previously which you can view on the #AppAdvice tag.

Deep in my computer archives I found a Tumblr backup from 2010. Most of these posts were just link posts and basically all of the links were dead. I did manage to save a few posts though:^[1]

• 6 Things I want in OS 4.0
• My Top Five Bookmarklets
• 6 Things I want in OS 4.0 [Updated]
• Quick Tip: Rotate Photos in Evernote
• My Home Screen (January 2010)

Finally I found an old version of this site which had a lot of posts from 2010 and 2011 that weren't here for some reason, so that added another 82 posts.

I updated my postsForFeed collection in Eleventy so that posts older than 2013 won't show up and spam everyone's feed reader^[2]:

postsForFeed: (collectionApi) => {
    return collectionApi.getFilteredByGlob("src/posts/blog/**/*.md").reverse().filter(p => {
        return moment(p.date).isAfter(moment('2012-12-12'))
    })
}

None of these posts are particularly exciting but I want to keep as much of it as I can online. As far as I know, this site now contains every article I've ever written.
