SSAB - April 24, 2026

Low energy day, but got 44km done on the bike. Why? Out to Wudaokou to meet up with some former students. What’s the place like now? (Smoggy, for one.)Slowly getting hot and things are slowly slowing down!I SO wanted McDonalds today but every time I go I feel disappointed. So I made it myself. Came home and cooked up some bacon and eggs, toast and cheese and Vegemite = even better.Looks like I’m staying in China for now. Not sure how I feel about this.And working on that course, did you know you can publish courses to TikTok? (Subscribed to Gamma APP, why didn’t I just use Claude Cowork or build my own? TIME!)Donate to the show!
