The enclosure is a lot of acronyms in one product name, but it's super cool. If you're a Windows user, you might really like how the haptic trackpad brings you many of the features of Apple's Magic Trackpad and even cooler touch points.

Remember Woodsy Owl, with “Give a hoot, don't pollute?" He's baaaackkkk!

Oh my gosh - this is the second time Perplexity has quoted me! How fun is that? I guess after writing 5-7000 words a week for 20 years, eventually they'd find me! Thank you so much for sending.

This was a really fun one as I got to sit in it while it drove me to a bar in the convention hall to get a drink!

Simplifying Developer Setups with Docker

Tidbit 17 is written/taught by Helma van der Linden. @bartb.ie wanted to understand Docker better, & Helma has great use cases for how to use it for developer setups, so it was a good opportunity for Bart to learn from Helma. 2-part podcast; this is Tidbit 17a.
