Thought For The Day: No one promised that life would be easy
Remember when we started handing out participation trophies? Remember when grief counselors on college campuses were handing out teddy bears to comfort students who under other circumstance would have been considered adults?

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B: External Power Button With USB Fan

From Anchorage, we drove to Kennicott, Fairbanks, Denali and back to Anchorage with a few short side trips to Talkeetna and Girdwood. 17 days and we could have probably spent another day or two.

We all know what happens when disruptive technology hits — great things happen. It’s about time for disruptive politics to do the same.
