Busy busy busy! Pretty much every weekend was booked up:
- A second cabin weekend, this time on the Olympic Peninsula
- The National concert at Marymoor Park in Redmond, WA—one of the best shows I’ve ever been to, honestly
- Book club hangs
- An offsite in SF
- Family visits in Florida

Finally found an excuse to play around with the Notion API! I created a product resources minisite from a database in my personal Notion instance. You can peek at the code or suggest a resource on Github. Humble beginnings, but I’ll be adding to this bit by bit as I find neat resources.
