Geekly World News - January 2022

Welcome to 2022! I know this issue is late and short (sorry!), but we take time off, too. Thankfully, we’ve been enjoying some recuperative time off, and we hope y’all have also taken some time to rest and recharge. The new year means new opportunities, and we’re already hard at work. I hope y’all have something good to look forward to this year. Personally, I’m excited about the 10^th THWACKcamp^™ (register link below) and can’t wait for the fantastic community interaction that comes with it.
