Something that interested me this week
Thanks so much for all of your entries in the raffle last time! Congrats to Krish, Maria, Sarah, Bryan, and Kevin!
The past couple weeks have been a huge whirlwind. The first few days of my vacation I was in Hong Kong with my husband and brother-in-law, where we ate all over the place and explored some cool markets. The next chunk was spent touring around South Korea visiting family, and it was awesome. We got to do karaoke a couple times, checked out a PC gaming café (which is a genius concept, by the way), hiked on a mountain and along a beach, and ate
so much food. It was my first time in both China and Korea, and it was a really unique experience. I admit I'm still getting over the jet lag, but I'm getting there!
Also, of course, I bought some mechanical keyboard parts and dozens of face masks, so I'm set to live my best life for a while 😉 Now that I'm back, I'm ready to get back in the swing of things at CodePen, build some keyboards, and laser cut some projects!
