President’s day weekend project - get my photos off Google!

Data’s not very useful sitting in a database collecting static and dust. We’re gonna take that the credit card transaction data from last week and gift it to Google (sheets). For desserts we also slap Slack notifications onto the Airflow instance.

I’m not great with LaTex, but I need a five-line gloss for the conlang I’m building for Minecraft (for a class). Using the expex package, we can bootstrap a five-line gloss from the tools it provides out of the box.

I’d like a Minecraft bot that cuts trees, mines coal, harvests wheat, digs holes, etc etc. I suppose we could start by trying to make one that stays alive!
