Along the Hermosa Beach greenbelt. The South Bay Parkland Conservancy has been restoring parts of the habitat near the south end of the trail to support monarchs and other endangered butterflies.
Lost Control
Pulled it out of my backpack and saw that it had lost control. Not entirely. It still had some left. Or right, as the case may be.
(Yes, I did eventually find the *ahem* key to restore it.)
Black Friday: Lesson Learned?
I usually make a point not to go shopping at all on Black Friday if I can help it.
The kid really wanted to go to Micro Center.
Now, after waiting in a line that went all the way round the store, he understands why I don’t go shopping on Black Friday.
TJs Branching Out
Rumor has it that Trader Joe’s urgent care is actually provided by the name brand, just with different packaging.
(Spotted on the way to hiking at Alta Vicente Reserve over the weekend.)
The Other Name Was A Little Sus
Looks like IEEE has finally renamed their sustainable tech conference. Now it’s “IEEE SustainTech Expo.” Not only is it a bit clearer than the old name, but ever since Among Us came out, “SusTech” always made me giggle a bit. I doubt I was the only one.
Update: apparently I was mistaken, and SustainTech is entirely separate from SusTech, which is still going on. Looking at it a bit more, it seems that SustainTech is more of a marketing/trade show, while SusTech continues to be a technical conference.
