If you have someone who you trust deeply and who cares about you, consider setting parental locks on each other’s devices. On iOS and macOS it’s dead simple to set up. The Lenten season is coming up and my wife and I have decided to both give up social media completely until Easter. Much like celebrating Christmas is a good time for goodwill, it can be a good season to try giving up something you feel is not good for you.

I’ve decided I’m going to spend my free time using making a ground up point and click adventure game with my kids. We spent about two hours on it this weekend and my girls (six and ten) were howling with laughter. It’s cool to see my oldest drawing up plans for what she wants each room of the game to look like, and what she wants to be able to do. All very exciting and new. GitHub copilot makes making it almost trivial, just spun up vite with typescript, created a canvas element, and off to the races.
