Hello Readers,

This is a bit of an odd intro from afar- I have been out of the office the whole week taking care of my daughter. She broke her leg last week and I having been taking care of her. It’s been great (really!): a lot of work but a lot of time spent talking and playing. The world of a four-year-old is a wonderful magical place full of mixed metaphors and mashed-up concepts that drive a rich narrative populated with all the elements of life around them. She has such a strong sense of wonder and curiousity that even when talking about her broken leg there is an unflagging optimism and attitude that everything, at its bottom level, is good. It is an inspiration to listen to and an honor to have her share her world with me. The happiest people I know have kept that sense of wonder, enthusiasm, and magic through their whole lives- a very lucky thing. As a tech my own curiosity and wonder not only keep me going through life but have formed the basis of what I do for a living. Techs need wonder to do their work if you ask me- a tech that is not curious is going nowhere fast. Enjoy this week’s offerings and see you next time. And as always, thank you so much for reading.
