Aug 10th: I wish this make your own halloumi kit was shipping to the US. That seems like a great quarantine project.

Jul 14th: I've updated my reading list for the first half of 2020. Covid has had a huge impact on my reading, having only finished 39 books in the first half of the year (versus 59 last year of the same period), but I've started reading more again in the last month or so. Highlights have been Agency (the latest from William Gibson) and The Starless Sea (great world building, no real story in the end, but very memorable)

Feb 18th: Want to hear what's going on in your webpages? This great little snippet plays sounds as DOM nodes update and gives you a weird new perspective on what's going on behind the scenes.

Jan 8th: If you've ever wondered how the London Underground lines got their names, this will tell you. No new non-royalty-named lines in 87 years - we are an unimaginative bunch. Maybe better than Liney McLine Face?

Jan 6th: I find armchair treasure hunts pretty compelling in theory, but not enough to have ever tried to take part in one. Reading the solutions to previous puzzles doesn't give me much confidence in even getting started.

Jan 3rd: AI dungeon is now playable in the browser, so very easy to get started. It's very impressive, but still a very far cry from being fun.

Dec 27th: I’ve never really understood JTAG before, but I think I finally get it after reading this tutorial. I just need to get the USB interface now.
