>From my blog:

  Back when I first started learning Perl 5, I was excited to find the [Perl
  Advent Calendar](http://perladvent.pm.org/archives.html).  It was a series of
  24 or so short articles about useful Perl modules or techniques, with one new
  entry each day leading up to Christmas.  A few years later, the Catalyst crew
  started the [Catalyst Advent
  Calendar](http://www.catalystframework.org/calendar/2005).  I always liked
  the Perl Advent Calendars, and kept meaning to contribute.  Every time,
  though there were too many things I'd want to write about -- and mostly they
  were my own code, so I felt sort of smarmy and self-promoting and never did
  it.

  Finally, though, I'm glad to say I have tackled those feelings.  I will not
  shy away from showing off my own code, and I will not worry about having to
  choose just one thing.  This year, I will publish the [RJBS Advent
  Calendar](http://advent.rjbs.manxome.org/), 24+ full days of cool, useful, or
  stupid code that I have written and given as a gift to the rest of the CPAN
  community.

  I've had a lot of fun working on this project, and it's helped me find and
  fix a number of little bugs or imperfections in the software I'll be talking
  about.

  The first door opens in six days.  I hope it's as fun to read as it was to
  write.  No returns will be accepted.  Approximate actual cash value: $0.02

Basically: starting Dec 1, I'm publishing 24-ish short articles about some of
CPAN modules.  Hopefully some of them will be useful!
