Fun dad moment. My kids have discovered that I'm really good at the sneaky bits in the #WobblyLife space update. All those years of playing stealth games have paid off. My kids are blown away by my sneaking skills!

200 years ago, the printing press, musical instruments etc were out of reach for average people. Tech advances have increasingly democratised & decentralised creativity. In another 200 years, perhaps it will be entirely so. Everybody simply prompting their personal entertainment from the ether. 😅

It was awesome. Different experience watching live, but nothing else like it.
