This is the first time in 15 years that I won’t be behind the scenes at Code Conference (née D Conference). Good luck to and the rest of the team at Code. The lineup looks great and a fitting coda for Kara’s last Code!

Mouse Keys on macOS allows me to move the cursor and click, albeit slowly, when my Magic Mouse is charging. Maybe I should get a Magic Trackpad or Logitech mouse since you can use them while plugged into power.
