Use a surfboard

Hi!

I wrote a small post about using your tools.  Read it: it's small and, I think, important.

Some other miscellany:

1. DJ Okawari released a new album, after six years!  You can listen to it here -- it is mellow, pleasant Japanese hip hop that works particularly nicely on a Sunday like today, where it is chilly and sunny and not particularly momentous.
2. I'm in the process of writing technical posts again after a ~two year hiatus.  This feels weird: the most widely-read pieces of mine are technical (hello to all of you who joined this newsletter because of a Python post) but those pieces have felt so insincere to write -- as if I was writing them not because I cared about the topic, but because I wanted to establish myself as someone who was a capable technical writer.  I probably won't share most of them on this newsletter (I mean, they're really niche) but it feels good to be publishing that kind of stuff again, like going for a bike ride after several years of rust.
3. I've started reading The Warmth of Other Suns, which so far is rich and daunting and powerful.

Have a great Sunday.  I hope your waves are good.
