It's MLK Day in the US
Jan. 16th, 2023 01:20 pm A lot of people are praising him today who voted against teaching about him in schools. Hypocrites. It's been chilly and a little gloomy, but the weather is nice today.
On Saturday I went to a daylong conference on building websites. I used to go to it every year but it went on hiatus over COVID. This is the first year it returned. It was good to see a lot of the old gang. So many people have longer hair now, including me. The topics were interesting. I did leave a little early - I got peopled out. I need to get used to being around people again :)
Television: Leverage Redemption is still dropping new episodes. I loved the latest one,, which showed the caper from the eyes of an outsider. Plus there was a "lumberduke", a funny parody of a romance novel trope.
Books: I finished Above the Bay of Angels by Rhys Bowen, a historical romance. A penniless aristocrat becomes a cook for Queen Victoria and ends up in Nice. Fluffy, full of unbelievable coincidences, but fun. I'm working my way through a book on systems thinking. It's very dense. I also started Everything is F**ked: A Book About Hope by Mark Manson. I didn't know it was a collection of blog essays. It's variety from the systems thinking.
Have a great week!
