The "Matrix of Convivial Technology" would make a good set of cards!

Okay, after much #AmProcrastinating, it's time to get some #Spanner #AmEditing out of the way. First off, I'll attack the mess that is Chapter 37.
To keep me on track, I'll have an LP soundtrack. #NowSpinning first: Miles Davis, Bitches Brew.
I should be doing homework but sitting outside writing on a foggy morning instead is way too tempting.
Still looking for something to gamify my writing because I love stats and dopamine.
I found this thing: https://trackbear.app I like it so far - clean UI, no ads, no AI bullshit, customizable. We'll see, but so far it's promising.

Trying to photograph the rats through the holes in the dig box. An absurd number of the photos were of their butts, perfectly framed by the holes, in perfect focus. Only got one or two with their heads visible.

2) Dig boxes smell really nice, all green and grassy
Still have a cold, but much better today. Actually getting some work done. Playing with rats is the perfect procrastination though.
