That little Sega CD add-on is the cutest thing ever.

Today I'm playing with rendering my blog's webmentions as part of my Jekyll build by first caching them from webmention.io using https://github.com/martymcguire/morris and then pulling the json data in to Jekyll as a Git submodule https://github.com/omgmog/mentions -- exposing them as site.data.mentions in Jekyll.

Apparently this will be fine https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/using-submodules-with-github-pages

I should be able to trigger a rebuild with Github actions when the mentions submodule repo gets a new push 🤔

Wish me luck! 🙈

There's nothing more humbling for ones artistic capability than trying to draw an accurate Union Jack flag for your 2-year-old to paint 🇬🇧 ✏️

I love everything about this. 😍

> Electronic Catan LCD Tiles:
> A collection of hexagon tiles that magnetically snap together to create a Settlers of Catan board of any shape or size. Each tile features a large round LCD and a custom magnetic pogo connector on each edge. Linking up a bunch of tiles creates a position-aware partial mesh network.

Nothing like proofreading a blog post to make you realise you over-use commas. I think it might be time to invest in a shock collar or something...

Man, 90s appliance UIs were a ride!
