   so it first went directly to the shelf, until one day, I felt the strong urge to procrastinate, grabbed it and started to read.

   It turned out to be a well written autobiography. Wiener tells his life from being recognised as a "prodigy child" in a Jewish family in the early 20th century in the US, to becoming the "Father of Cybernetics"

   According to my tasks page [0], it took me 10 hours to carefully read the MDN CSS module on CSS building blocks while taking handwritten notes [1]. I started reading it back in December, and finished late February. Not exactly what I'd call an exciting read.

   It took another 3.5 hours to transcribe those notes [2]. ~33% time overhead seems to be pretty constant for transcription I've noticed.

   I'm still plugging away at Designing Data Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppman, also taking handwritten notes [3][4]. Currently 27 hours in and I've just hit the halfway point. It's a big book crammed with stuff.

   With COVID back on the upswing and a highly immune-evasive new variant at that, this short and plain-language article is a very important read.

   It’s long been known to ME/CFS sufferers that serious, deep rest and well-paced activities are crucial to fending off further debilitating reactions.

   It’s also well-known this is HARD, and everyone from employers to doctors to legislators refuse to take seriously how this should be supported as prescriptive medicine.
