The second is a service for my family where we can capture things we've heard about from family and friends that we might want to check out. The final one is an ecommerce site for my wife's business. All of them are written using NextJS 13. I don't think NextJS is particularly popular on here, but I've had the most fun ever building stuff with it.

If I'm working on something and need references I'll create a folder and pin it. When I'm done with it I'll either delete it or if there was something really valuable in there, I'll add it to a list of resources I keep on my website.

Back then I wanted to get an original of one but couldn't afford it. Now I can and I can't find him anymore.

Comment on Advice for a few days in Atlanta please in ~travel
ras Link ParentLast time I checked you could get a pretty good taste of the Bluff on Google Maps. That's about as close as I want to get these days.The Trap Museum, for instance, is right on the border of the Bluff. If you go any further west, you may be in for quite an adventure.

Peruvian, Cuban, Mexican, Bangladeshi, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, pretty much anything. There are plenty of best of lists online, but I've had good luck just picking places at random.

I’m also reading The Time Has Come by Will Leitch. I’m about halfway through and loving it.
This just made me think, the last three books I’ve read now have strong Georgia ties. I read A Man In Full by Tom Wolfe just before these. It wasn’t intentional but interesting nonetheless.

We have a young core of a team that's locked down, and some of the moves, like keeping Arcia over Swanson seem almost psychic-like. I've been a fan since the 80's but this is definitely the deepest team we've had.

ras LinkNice! My wife is currently obsessed with sunflowers. There is now a wall of them between our house and our neighbors house.Nice! My wife is currently obsessed with sunflowers. There is now a wall of them between our house and our neighbors house.
We've tried OneNote, Apple Notes, etc. It may just be impossible for us, but I'm building it because I thought it would be fun.
