Ah, lovely three day weekend. Back to it.

Now to turn Friday’s garbled notes into today’s task list.

Oh & I rarely fuss if unfollowed or even blocked. Folks have their reasons.

Particularly impressed by when a site throws a popup pitching their browser extension so I click the link and next thing I’m looking at the Chrome store

in Firefox.

doing an informal sort of “literate programming in Markdown” approach to cover the TBD stuff.

Probably could’ve started these notes as an org file but whatever it’s all gibberish anyways.

Definitely enjoying the genre riffs listed in the thread, though my brain went inside out a little at the thought of a Kurosawa story in the Star Wars universe.

Somewhat shockingly, my brain was correct.
