Notes from my week.
- Following the NHL trade deadline. The Penguins traded for Rickard Rakell!
- I bought a fresh copy of Panic Nova. My license from my old job expired in October, and I was waiting for a new release before purchasing. When they released version 9 last week, they also announced a 50% off sale with an amazing video.
- Our team is taking over a couple of React Native apps.
- Looking for a new podcast app after the Apple Podcast app messed up my queue a few times. I’m trying Overcast and Castro now.
- Lots of family in town this past weekend after we accidentally triple booked the weekend.
