If you attended @terrificon.bsky.social on Friday and found a sketch book of art, my son lost his book and we would be very grateful if it was returned. Please share if you know anyone e who attended. My son is 11 and this was very important to him.

The Icelandic word for computer gets translated as "number prophetess" but it's more properly rendered "number völva". A völva is a female-only type of seer named after the distaffs they carried with them as their magic wands. Odin's time as a völva is part of how we know Odin was genderfluid.

A music store that carries as many available keyboards/synths as possible. It's tough to find a place where you can try everything that's available. You need to be able to not only hear the sounds but feel how the keyboard responds and what real-time controls it has.
Take a break from the discourse and quote this with a business you would want to start if you could afford to lose money on it

If coding is your favorite part of software engineering, keep coding. AI doesn't stop you. But if coding was the only part you were good at, that's a different conversation. The job was always bigger than the code. #bransoncognac blog.bryanl.dev/posts/ai-sen...
