This year @btconfbeyond tellerrand got me thinking about the things I touch every day, about my own curiosity, remembered AI is both greedy and extremely useful, saw mad things can be done without AI, that I should just get on and make stuff, saw the web as an art medium, and the artistry in lettering, saw creativity in development, and inclusiveness, and calm, and empathy.

I loved it all - never change, .

One of the things I touch daily is my phone, but it is also a great life and curiosity enabler 😊

A pencil drawing of a cartoony phone, with the words "what do I do on my phone?"

Sometimes, I even make new friends.
