A longer story.

I’ve been in a quandary about which Headless CMS to move my personal site over to. There are quite a few that I love using in a work (& demo) context. Finally listened to my heart… and am updating @StoryusLife to have a fuller headless mode. Yep - rolling my own 🤣

Finally made a start on creating my own custom dashboard on my Divoom Pixoo64. So handy to have Vercel serverless functions doing a stack of auth and processing - then using a simple python wrapper for the device api to ping the endpoints for the data. https://t.co/Jm3V4GbtEH

These cards are fantastic and loved by every teacher, TA, and playground assistant who has got their hands on them. My wife Emma is amazing at inspiring kids - but not so comfortable promoting her work. So please help us out with some R/Ts https://t.co/nOwF7hyqNL

I’ve been enjoying Josh’s React course for about a month already (as a beta) - and it’s absolutely fabulous. This course, and his previous CSS course are two of the most impressive feats of education I’ve ever come across. It’s a must-buy. https://t.co/PF1UyP0SQv

Also posted to my personal site (Next.js on Vercel) - because we should all probably be taking steps to at least replicate our social posts onto our owned sites. https://t.co/T9ffst1ntM

Thankfully in 1965 Dr. Henry Osmaston made a tracing of the carving - I love the textual distortion from the trees growth over a hundred years. https://t.co/nBbkDoqKQi

The tree died in the 1990s and rotted completely while standing, before collapsing during a period of inclement weather in July 2012 (h/t @Wikipedia … and one of my favourite apps : V for Wiki) https://t.co/FMaPFSCdMp

The Poem Tree. Engraved in 1844 on a tree at Wittenham Clumps by Joseph Tubb. Zoe and I spent some time learning about this today while walking the dog, and it seems interesting enough to be worth sharing 👇 #History #LocalStories https://t.co/2OPXhzGRQk

Nearly 20 years ago I proposed to my now wife at the top of the CN Tower in Toronto. (August 2003) It was in the era of film cameras, and the waiter took just a single photograph - which would turn out to be really badly out of focus. https://t.co/mIGJc7vBBm
