Something that interested me this week

Like I mentioned before, I had a birthday this past week! I got to see a bunch of friends and family, which was great. One of the most fun activities was indoor skydiving! It was terrifying. I screamed the entire time. I lost my voice. Worth it! One of the jumps we did was in virtual reality, where you had a VR headset on and watched a real skydiver fly while you were in the wind tunnel. I also screamed constantly during that one, while also feeling like I was skydiving in the future.

Also, last week at CodePen we released a new UI feature, the sidebar! It looks like a very simple change, but under the hood, there were a LOT of changes. We added in some juicy things like React, GraphQL, Cypress, and mooore, which were both challenging and fun to write.

I once fell for a guy who only knew 4 vowels.
Unfortunately he didn't know I existed.
