Happy new year from The Netherlands!

(Thinking) Hmm. I should reflect on the past year and share it online since everyone else is. (Posting) What happened to me this year is none of your business.

I don’t know...

it IS super cold out but a cotillion sounds like WAY too many coats.

Pretty excited about my @frameworkcomputer laptop right now. I can't quite believe how carefully they engineered everything so that it's fast, easy, and fun to crack open your laptop and tinker with it. The corner that pops up when you unscrew the case, the magnets that help with alignment and keep the keyboard and trackpad in place when you flip it over, the magnetic bezel... It says it's made with ❤️ and I believe it. #FrameworkLaptop #OpenSource #RightToRepair #PC #hardware

Even after all these years, Mother Nature can still surprise me.

The internet is so great, it has everything, no matter how weird, like, for instance, just to totally make something up, if someone absent-mindedly swallowed the paper tag from a teabag, I bet there's a page about whether they should worry about that, ha ha, can you imagine, anyway has anyone seen that page

Smart piece in the NY Times about the future of the American power grid, which is "being determined in town halls, county courthouses and community buildings across the country." The energy transition will happen only as fast as clean energy projects can actually get built:
