Monthly review: August 2021
| monthly, review- I wrote a few 11ty shortcodes and Emacs commands to make sketches easier to embed into my blog posts.
- W- finished hanging up the cabinets in the kitchen. It'll be nice to have more storage!
- We picked lots of cherry tomatoes and jalapeno peppers from the garden.
- The Brickloot balls arrived, so we opened a bag and started using them in our LEGO Great Ball Contraptions. I learned how to use the 9V motors, so we were able to rig up the sloped stepper, the pinwheel, the ball pump, the S-capades, and the crane module in a loop.
- A- was able to tap the badminton shuttles 43 times in a row, starting with 7 shuttles. I was able to bounce my shuttle up in the air 20 times in a row.
