I’m needing a little help from the development community.

I’m needing to move my blog to a different platform. After a plea and an apology, I’m not going to be able to stay where it’s at.

Problem is, due to my health issues and my work, which exacerbates my issues, I’m unable to devote time I’d like to anymore to developing.

Would anyone be willing to customize an eleventy theme for me? Nothing too splashy. I like the Eleventy Excellent but, want it customized a bit.

I’ll be using GitHub Pages again for my blog.

In today’s episode of “Reasons to Punch Mark Zuckerberg in the Face.” He says:

“Over time we’ll get to a point where a lot of the code in our apps and including the AI that we generate is actually going to be built by AI engineers instead of people engineers.”

Imagine trusting AI with your data.

A fascinating preprint investigating the 'mechanical morphogenesis' -- the complex shapes generated by growth and expansion of #brains. This compares 70 species of New World vs Old World #monkeys. As Katja Heuer @k4tj4 asks: 'To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape?'

Complex shape figures as a 3rd major factor along with genetic inheritance and experience.
