Just when I was nearing 50 open PRs, I bounced back to almost 67. Anybody else use the GH /pulls page as a work queue/check-in to make sure things get fixed and finished?

Strong and healthy ankles are underrated. Fitness and health are sure easier to work on with them.

Congrats to Ichiro on the HOF selection! Wonderful news for the PNW. Ichiro and Edgar Martinez may be the only Hall of famers I have seen play.

Closed all 499 browser tabs on my phone, clean slate to add another 499 threads that are waiting to be read, but won’t.

Just be safe, I did save them off, but I need to figure out the Safari cloud tabs features a bit better.

*BIG NEWS*

Today, @clarabelle.xyz became the first user *ever* to be paid for her work on Booksky via the Graze monetization platform. Over the course of an hour, we ran ≈5k impressions, paid $5 ($3.5 of which goes directly to Clara's bank account), and got 7 hits on our test lander.

It's go time.

This is pretty neat, a GitHub Gist with GeoJSON will render as a map of the items. gist.github.com/simonw/1e2a1...

It's been able to do that for a while I suppose, from six years ago medium.com/@jamiemchale...
