Looks to me like you’ve given in 🤣
I finished construction on the switch this evening. It’s not perfect for sure but I’m happy with it. Now I have to decide how pretty I can make it before the tree lighting tomorrow night #woodworking #diy
I made more progress yesterday on the giant switch project. Most of the parts are created, I’ve got a few more parts to make and then I need to find a warmer place to pain them. The high all week is 53 and that’s not going to work for painting. #woodworking #diy
@pluralistic Please tell me Hench isn’t leaving his buddy in prison

Very cool. Penguin's book vending machine dispenses free books from the 'Lit In Colour' list by authors of colour to diversify students' exposure to literature: 'Fewer than 1% of students in GCSE study a book by a writer of colour'.

The more sustainable and comprehensive strategy is to diversify the set curriculum, but I I like the innovation here - maybe the packaging will create a spark in young learners.

@pluralistic I was disappointed in Martin Hench' until I figured out how much $3 for each person in Mississippi would be vs the 7 figures the lawyers were going to get
Ice farming and web development

Back when I first started my professional life, I used to enjoy watching talks from Guy Kawasaki. One story he used to share a lot in various talks was about the history of refrigeration in the United States. (This story has a point. Stick with me.) Ice farming Way back in the day, people would store perishable food in ice boxes (literally a box filled with ice), and ice was harvested from the cold North.

I couldn’t afford the Apple Vision Pro, so I got the Apple Vision Junior instead.

I can tell you where I saw this, but not how fast I was going.
