Accepting recommendations for a fun, small, well-made, nice-looking, CD player that isn’t super expensive and is robust enough to survive regular use by children. Anything? Transport only is fine, built in speakers are fine.

Anyone running alternative firmware on their Kobo reader? Anything that supports libraries? I use my Kobo exclusively for Overdrive, but it's been so buggy for the last year that it barely functions (can't browse lists, search rarely works, etc).

Cool: built a little Cloudflare worker to generate public domain art for my personal website, uses a little database and bit of JavaScript to generate SVGs

Not cool: site gets hit so hard by bots that Cloudflare's free worker limits are immediately exceeded and the worker shuts down

Soft launching a new personal website on a Friday afternoon is a bold, perhaps silly, decision. And being bold and silly are two of the many worthwhile things one can do with a personal website.
