I have been forcing myself to take a slice of time out of each day to work on stagnant personal projects (the ones that bring me great joy!)

So today I pushed some long-simmering edits to the Cable Bible! Like, edits I've been meaning to make for three years!

@ashley @despens kai's power tools

I really want the Net Art Anthology catalog but it's been out of stock everywhere I look, for ages :(

Anyone aware of good options for creating an interactive decision tree? Like, not just a flowchart, but something that users can actually click through, only be presented one question at a time, etc

Google Drive is refusing to zip and download a folder with 5 CSVs in it, no error message or details whatsoever, love it, terrific software
