    by

    Friday Notes 086 – January 17 2020

    This week has had at least 2 snow days (maybe more I’m working ahead because I have time right now instead of kids to watch) so the week has been broken up a bit. On one hand, it’s been tough to get stuff done, but on the other hand it’s been nice to hang out…

    I Was Wrong About iPadOS Mouse Support
