🙋♂️ Summer Links Only Special – Of bits and bytes for July 8, 2024
Internet Travels
Of bits and bytes is my weekly round up of interesting links and ideas I discovered on the internet. It is published on Mondays for the previous week
With it being summer and me not wanting to get burned out, for June and July the Of Bits and Bytes newsletter will be links only. Hopefully that won’t be too boring for you, but I also want you to get a chance to recharge. The full newsletter will return in August!
Learn21 is a proud sponsor of Eduk8me and the Of Bits and Bytes newsletter. Read more about their mission at Learn21.

By design, the vast majority of Of Bits and Bytes readers never pay anything for the links, commentary, and tips it provides. But you made it all the way to the end of this week’s edition — maybe not for the first time. Want to support more journalism like what you read today? If so, click here.
