2021 was a crazy year, but it gave me the chance to explore using the #microbit and other household materials to make all kinds of projects. Here's a compilation of what I made this year!

@KFLAPH @pinkribbonkim @MOHKFLA Hello, I booked through the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour link and it seemed to work, but I didn't get a confirmation email (even in spam folder). Is there a way to confirm if the booking went through?

I've worked in software development for over 20 years, and most of my career has been in management. I want to share something about the reality of working as a Black man fulfilling leadership roles in tech.

It is the 1-yr anniversary of release of National MMIWG Inquiry report, which included 231 calls to justice & many indicting Canada's colonial gendered violence of policing.

And today, cops killed Indigenous woman Chantel Moore during a wellness check.

It is not radical to ask if your city should be spending less on policing and more on other services. In Toronto, policing is the largest chunk of your property tax bill — and it’s not even close. (Source: this @LaurenPelley breakdown of 2019 figures https://t.co/a1JWNMlcUD)

"I'm going to tell them an African-American man is threatening my life"

That woman straight up told him: "I know this racist system gives me power over you, and I'm going to lie right now to use that power against you" No way this was the first, second or third time she did so.

That's pretty neat. Takes an image and makes one of those blurry placeholders from it, but the blurry placeholder is only like 20 characters long and renders to a <canvas>.

So instead of showing nothing during lazyloading you could show a blurry image.
