When this happens, it may behoove you to do some writing, any kind of writing. But consider that a physical journal will force you to turn past pages you\u2019ve already filled, which may leave you deflated if you happen to read them.<\/p>\n<p>So the answer lies in a sort of journalistic deposit box.

The form factor is so great for [Simon], in fact, that he has developed more apps and functions for it, including a Claude client.<\/p>\n<p>Inside is a Raspberry Pi Zero 2w, and input comes from an Air40 keyboard with quite awesome low-profile key caps. The display is a 5.5\u2033 AMOLED, which leaves just enough room for a pair of the cutest bees ever.
