On Nov. 30—just in time for the holidays—we have a special #FamilyHistory Project Recipe Event featuring https://weare.xyz/'s Simon Davies. In "Playing for the Ancestors" Simon will share a project he created as a gift this holiday. It's a full #52Ancestors deck of playing cards, each featuring photos of ancestors and QR codes that take players to the profiles of each family member.

🎟️ Join us on Tuesday, Nov. 30! More tix added at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/project-recipe-playing-for-ancestors-tickets-749512711697?aff=oddtdtcreator

I have just been requested to commute three days a week 135 miles away each way from my home (I have not moved) to an office I was never required to attend before the pandemic starting end of September.

If anyone needs remote product/infrastructure/platform engineering or backend developer who has 15 years cloud deployment experience and data center to cloud migration experience, email me on [email protected].

I just learned that the Genealogy subreddit has a weekly #transcription Tuesday post, in which members comment with links to images they can't transcribe (or translate) and others help them out. It's really charming, and a neat sample of real-world problems researchers face.

Here's last week's #TranscriptionTuesday post, featuring 19th-century Latin, German and English as well as 20th-century Hungarian: https://www.reddit.com/r/Genealogy/comments/z7qvak/transcription_request_tuesdays_november_29_2022/
