I blogged about my experience and takeaways from attending Web Directions Next last week. It was a unique event that highlighted that tech is inherently political (the US election and the AU social media ban for under-16s were hot topics) and that we have a responsibility to ourselves and each other to build a better future. Also, there was a giant teddy bear. 🐻
Renovation update! The landscapers have been hard at work for the past week working on our three sets of stairs. Each of them is being clad in “bluestone” (same as the big pavers), and they have had to cut every piece to the right size. For the ones off the back door, they had to first remove the old cladding… which meant jackhammering. 😬 They’re getting through it though, in spite of shocking heat. I was amused to see that the guys turned my clothesline into a shelter!
