How do you do, fellow humans? (Sub-vocalise in Steve Buscemi voice for maximum effect.)
This edition of the Weekly Head Voices covers the week from Monday January 25 to Sunday January 31 of the year 2021.
Figure 1: Weekend scene from the Afrikaans Language Monument (or “Taalmonument”, when you speak the lingo). Initially I thought about ‘shopping out the photo-shooting couple, but I’ve grown to like them now.
WELCOME BACK EVERYONE TO THIS WARM AND WELCOMING CIRCLE OF WEEKLY HEAD VOICES!
Figure 1: View from a family walk in Hermanus. I was surprised by the beauty here, memories of years ago apparently faded.
Thanks to COVID-19, many organizations and their their workers have had to fast-track their previously hypothetical plans and dreams to adopt remote working.
Where this was once a long-running debate with a handful of more progressive companies actually executing, all of a sudden many of us found ourselves working from home, including spending significant parts of our day in video meetings.
I was looking for the most simple way to get automatic yearly archives of all blog posts for the Hugo setup responsible for cpbotha.net (this blog).
Fortunately I ran into Rohan Verma’s template-based solution which I could then simplify into the even more straight-forward shortcode-based solution presented in this post.
For an example of the output, see the post archives here.
To make this happen on your Hugo setup is a two step process.
Welcome to the year 2021 friends.
Every year around about this time, I try to write a transition post like this one.
You can get a list of all of the transition posts by going to the “transition” tag page.
If you don’t have time to read them all (haha), you could just scan through last year’s 2019 to 2020 edition.
This transition tradition started at the end of 2009, which coincidentally is also the year that the Weekly Head Voices was born.
This edition of the WHV looks back at the week from Monday, December 21 to Sunday, December 27, 2020.
Figure 1: View of False Bay from Clarence Drive, a truly beautiful road.
During this week, the most noteworthy happening was of course Christmas.
Well hello there folks, and welcome to the 212th edition of the Weekly Head Voices!
This one covers the two weeks from Monday December 7 to Sunday December 20, 2020. My end-of-year vacation started at some point during the period under investigation, so there’s not all that much to report here, except perhaps for a small philosophy message brought to you by the world of science.

You are reading the consolidated and refined version of the notes and excerpts I made while reading the book Creativity Inc..
This is by no means a complete summary of the book, but rather a collection of lessons that I found note-worthy.
The book deals with the building and maintenance of sustainable creative organizations, painted on the rich background of Ed Catmull’s role in the construction and running of Pixar and later also of Disney Animation.
Welcome back to the Weekly Head Voices friends!
These ones, the two hundred and eleventh (haha, remember at school you always wondered if anyone would ever really need to be able to write out numbers… IT WAS ALL FOR ME) edition, will hopefully be talking more or less coherently about events that took place during the two weeks from Monday November 23 to Sunday December 6 of the year 2020.
