We’re back to normal service this week. Apologies again for surprising everyone last week with a Saturday delivery of brainfood. If you missed Issue 90, it should be in your inbox (please take a look for it) or you can find it here. Thanks everyone for the feedback on timing of the delivery - it seems most were agnostic but had got into the habit of seeing it on Sunday, so happy to see a return to this time slot. Let me know if your views change on this!
Special thanks this week goes to:
Dan Logan, Colin Dunn, Cristina Chipurici, James Peters, Denis Dinkevich, Josh Biniecki, Sathish Ganesh, Jonathan Kidder, Rich Lewis, Robert Hicks, Snezana Djurisic, Cerys Hunt, Martyn Redstone, Bas van der Haterd, Tris Revill, Alma Estefania Prado, Daniel Carlsson and Rob Long - thank you for your public advocacy of this newsletter last week despite my error. Your support is key to the growth of the community. Thanks!
