Finally, 52 things learned in 2017 [medium/fluxx-studio-notes]. I got to like, three of these, before I decided I had to share this post.

And that there is Versioning for your Wednesday. I hope it was Mega, and offered some good news about or from email today! Email will be OK - we've been using email for thousands of years, right? I didn't do very well at History at school, but that feels right to me.

I'll be back with some more tomorrow, to add to the history books.
