an other feeds review, clog rendering

So they fixed the pdf and it looks nicer than how it was yesterday. I generally tend to go ♥ berserk on my feeds at least on Instagram and Facebook. Very generous I am with my 👍s. There is a pressing curiosity I have on how people get likes on…

the future of a wall, #MwcSpace

The wall I sit in front of makes me think a lot. I don’t get very distracted here. It really needs some art, or a map or a whiteboard on it or I am told. A cognitive controller to either inspire or collect what I am working on or hope…
