I read a piece by Cassidy Williams today where she revealed she knows TWO personal software engineers for billionaires. Where does one sign up for a job like that?
The Scripting News had a piece about evolution and the need for our hands to be busy or holding something all the time, and it got me thinking - do I always need to be doing something with my hands? Did I when I was a kid?

Going through my RSS feeder this morning, I found a message to Martha buried in this post.
Sometimes, as I'm reading somebody's blog post, I have thoughts about it, and I open up Obsidian and start jotting them down, even before I finish reading the blog post. This is one such time.

So, maybe to put things in context, you should go read the first few paragraphs of this and come back here before you read the ending.
