TIL my elementary school gives out pens with four teeny button batteries inside to make a small projection with their logo. My 2yo discovered this, and they don't usually eat nonfood but I could only find 3 of the 4 batteries so three x-rays later (not in the toddler!) I'm still looking. Cursed swag

someone took my twitter handle - guess that means I've been gone for 1+ year! I deleted my account with option to reactivate before a year. To celebrate, I've linked my BlueSky account to my domain. Come @ me

today's use of AI is figuring out what to put in my garden. Using #Notion where via a spacebar I can call up the AI, iteratively got a bunch of recommendations and a checklist based on what I want/location/advice I need

Although I didn't have a huge amount of engagement on Twitter leaving it (and 10k plus followers behind) was like losing a virtual friend I'd chat with more frequently than many in person friends. A big loss of 2023 and the new space for me is still inchoate
