Something that interested me this week
Phew. this past week has been a whirlwind with my London trip! I had been to London before briefly for an event (years ago), but this was my first time actually getting to see the city. My friend
Kevin walked me all over showing off the touristy sites like Buckingham Palace and the London Eye, and I got to eat typical Brit food like "cheeky Nandos" and fish and chips. It was a blast! The conference was great too. I spoke about
 methods for making art with CSS (the video will be up soon, I think), and I ended the talk by doing some live-coding. I didn't finish the Big Ben I was working on in the time I had, but it was a good time getting to put something together in a fun (albeit mildly stressful) environment. I definitely recommend checking out GenerateConf in future years, it was a wonderful event!

Joke
I dig,
you dig,
he digs,
she digs,
they dig,
we all dig.
It's not the most exciting poem, but it's very deep.

That's all for now, folks! Hope you have a good one. Be safe, make good choices, and teach someone something new!
