Nice. I made something similar a couple of years ago: https://www.colorfulwolf.com/retirement/

I had this exact idea but for OpenTTD worlds. Well done.

I reached the same conclusion for my own static blog. One step beyond just having an email link is to run an AWS lambda that takes a web form post and sends you an email with the contents. That way you can add a captcha (hCaptcha seems like a good alternative to Google), and your email address doesn't float around on the public internet.
It's fairly low maintenance and easy to replace if you ever did want to step away from AWS.

I've been playing around with the Lego and Raspberry pi combination on and off through the years [1], with the goal of building a standalone tracked vehicle (pi on board) that can move around my apartment. There were various ways to do this already, mainly by using off the shelf motor controller boards and later the third party Bluetooth motor bricks. This was all for the old "power functions" system though, Lego has since revamped their lineup with a lot of new parts that all use a different connector. I'm really looking forward to getting one of these.

I love cycling. Did my first solo touring cycling trip over ten years ago when I was in my twenties. I've done a cycling trip every couple of years since then, until I got a mortgage. Then I started focusing on my career and kept delaying the next trip, thinking "next year will be the year that I'll make time for it". Now I'm approaching my 40s, I have a medical condition that limits the enjoyment I get out of cycling, and due to covid travel restrictions I can't travel to the country I want to cycle in.
Don't delay.

This is the kind of thing that I love to see as a blogpost, and I admire the ingenuity of the author, but I would hate to ever see this in a production codebase.

Wow, this is a lot more in-depth than I was expecting. I started out with the O'Reilly book (Hands-on Machine Learning)[1]. There's some overlap there, but I'd say both this course and the O'Reilly book are well worth your time if you're starting out with machine learning.
