Hey friends!

Phew, what a week! I had a very very packed one full of meetings, podcast recordings, and prepping for moving. Let’s surf!

Something that interested me this week

This week I was pretty dang swamped with meetings after the long weekend, it felt like I got nothing done (and yet… I did?) except for memeing. It was fun though seeing an episode of Screaming in the Cloud come up with my name on it! We recorded this episode early this spring and I had totally forgotten about it. I also put together a blog post about the new Astro framework, which I’m liking more and more as I use it.

Joke

I just bought a TV and it said “Built in Antenna” and was wondering, does anyone know where Antenna is?

That’s all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and clean your water bottles!
