Hello friends!

I hope you had a great week! To those who celebrate it, I hope you had a wonderful Easter holiday. Ours was great, we had a really good message at church (happy to share it with anyone who asks). Anyway, back to the web!

Something that interested me this week

This past week I designed and laser cut a keyboard stand for myself! I've been trying to come up with a good way to store my keyboards without taking up too much space, and I'm really happy with the result.

We got new standing desks in our home office too, so between the stand, the desks, and getting rid of a bunch of old things we don't use, our office is looking nice and organized. It's SO great for my productivity. Who knew that a clean, organized space would help get work done? 
 

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you sort strings in a given alphabetical order. Dimitris wrote a fun one liner for it!

This week's question:
Make a clock application that shows the time in Swatch Internet Time!
 

Cool things from around the internet

Building Levels with Sam
GMK Carbon Bones on a TGR 910
How Fortnite’s success led to months of intense crunch at Epic Games
 

Joke

I always thought a snail would move faster without its shell. Turns out it only makes them more sluggish.
 
That's all for now, folks! Have a good week. Be safe, make good choices, and clean up your desk.
