Joe Crawford keeps tinkering on his site. Today he's headed to the Padres Cubs baseball game. He also deployed a new sparse version of his home page outside of Wordpress but which also pulls in feeds from multiple sources. https://artlung.com/ ... there's no better time to deploy code to production but 15 minutes before leaving for a live sporting event. Also: he will host HWC EU next week!
