If you happen to be in or near Leicester this is a brilliant exhibition (that I am in) and programme of events happening all month. Next week I'm learning how to make a fortune telling video game! Yesterday we watched a screening of the 1995 classic Hackers! Get into it šš

Knowing what your computer is doing, how it works, and how to take care of it is really cool. It's probably one of the most powerful devices anyone has on hand at any given time, and it pays off to know exactly what it's doing and what you can do with it. Technical literacy doesn't need to be boring, and at the very least you get to feel like Trinity or Neo from the Matrix.

Iām not talking about what the CPU is, Iām talking about learning about kernels, signal lanes, the history of USB, etc etc
Technology is so cool

Why, yes, there is a website where you can buy those retro computer badges for practically any operating system or hardware you could think of!

Top Recs from @caskeyc

1. Don't set an alarm and wake up naturally. Snooze for however long you want to, it's okay
2. Have breakfast. For me it's toast. Have it with butter/jam/honey and a lot of water and coffee and juice.
3. Listen to an album in full and do some puzzles until it ends. I like to stick a record on and do the nyt games (connections, then wordle, then the mini, then I'm ready for a crossword)
4. Shower and use all your best stuff. Smell great. Make your hair feel soft.
5. Wear an outfit you don't get to wear that often. I tend to wear the same thing over and over at work so I wear something a bit more fun and less practical.
6. Go outside. I live near a road with secondhand shops that are great browsing but quite tempting on a budget. To beat the temptation just look in the windows and then walk round the streets or to a green space if it's a nice day. Walk as fast or as slow as you like. Try and spot cats that might let you stroke them. See how each place you go smells different. Walk down streets that you've not been down before just because.
7. Come home and decide how much energy you have. If you have energy do an activity (I would write, play an instrument, do some art, read, play a game) if you don't then watch something from your watchlist. Saturdays feel like a good day to watch something new.
8. Cook yourself a meal. Start before you're hungry and spend ages on it. Use every pot. Listen to music. Sing whilst you wash the dishes.
9. Play! Video games, board games, internet games, card games, phone games, rearrange your plushies, embrace your inner child. Play with ideas, experiment with felt tip pens, write a limerick. Get silly with it.
10. Talk to your friends. Invite them over, call somebody up, text that person back you didn't have time to. I like to spend a good day off by myself then have a great time talking to people after I've recharged.
11. Have so much fun getting to do whatever you want you fall asleep at whatever time. Monday - Friday is about appeasing your body clock, Saturdays are for filthy pleasures like falling asleep at 3am because you were too busy flirting or reading or watching videos.
