My birthday was this week. I'm 37, which is a [pretty neat number]
|
||
|
|
({{< ref "/blog/2025/thirty-seven" >}}), as it turns out.

Blue Origin launched their New Glenn rocket on Wednesday night. A very cool
|
||
|
|
launch of a very large rocket.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Conversely, SpaceX launched Starship 7 and it .. blew up catastrophically and
|
||
|
|
spread debris all over the Gulf of Mexico. I hate seeing the environmental
|
||
|
|
and human impacts of such accidents, but it does give me small joy when Elon
|
||
|
|
takes the L. :upside_down_face:

An acquaintence referred to [Bunpro](https://bunpro.jp) in a conversation we had
|
||
|
|
on social media about Japanese grammar. This site has lots of detailed
|
||
|
|
information about the language and how it works.
