We’ve had an Amazon Fresh store for a few months now right next to our home. My favorite part of the cashier-less experience is that I don’t feel awkward bringing in groceries from a different store. Amazing for combining trips.

In other news, I finished The Outer Worlds yesterday. Such a treat, it really felt like a reimagining of the Firefly TV show.
After spending quite some time living & working in Silicon Valley, me and my wife decided to relocate to London earlier this year. We are now slowly building up our own company. Nothing to announce yet, but I do believe we have some promising ideas.
