This was cool but it became repetitive at times doing the same rose over and over again.

This was nice to build and low stakes at around 200 pieces.

Just finished “The Great Black Hope” by @profloumoore.bsky.social I remember watching that Super Bowl but was too young to understand football and its significance of what Doug Williams pulled off. Excellent read.

Snow during #KubeCon. I’m glad I got that #Azure beanie that matches my NorthFace. All I’m missing is my timbs.
