I recently read Ian Kershaw’s biography of Hitler. This passage, where he bullies the Czechoslovak president into a “peace deal,” stood out. After what happened in the Oval Office today, it feels disturbingly relevant. Glad that Zelensky is nothing like Hácha.

Forest Watch is a new side project that I'm working on. You can use it to keep track of forests being cut down in your area.
It's still too early for release as it's missing an important feature (going back in time) but I like where it's going.

My friends’ 12 year old son recreated it in Scratch: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/957461584
He’s really talented and it’s incredible what he can do at such a young age.

I saw this online somewhere and I just had to recreate it. This is my coding happy place.
