Hey friends!

Something that interested me this week

I admit I had a stressful week trying to get everything done, but I did manage to have some fun, too! I built with the new Astro framework for the first time. I made a small demo that uses both React and Vue in a single page, and I’m working on a storefront one as well. It’s been interesting! The framework is definitely still in early stages, and I’ve been pleased with how it has grown in just a short while.

Joke

What weighs more? A gallon of water or a gallon of butane?
Water. Butane is a lighter fluid!
