The assembly and serviceability of this thing is (of course) amazing. One small touch I really enjoyed was this little finger loop on the input cover connector.
The difference this made to seating it was stunning (yes I tried without *for science*).

Time for another of my my favorite photos I have taken. This one is from a trip to the Very Large Array in New Mexico.

One of the many things I like to do is a bit of #photogaphy I thought I would share some of my favorite photos. This one is from 2016 the first time I attended the #GSOC mentor summit.

P.S. Image uploads on Tusky seem to be broken, uploading this through the web UI seems fine 🤔
