Halloween treats
Happy All Hallow’s Eve eve. With yet another aspect of our lives touched by COVID-19, I thought I’d link to a fun, geeky article which showcases one way to make the most of it. No interesting tools or services this issue, sorry. Just some seasonal fun and news from the web.

How to build a socially distant Halloween candy dispenser
Learn how to create a Twilio-powered, remote-operated Halloween candy machine that Trick-or-Treaters can talk to or text for candy. As awesome as this is, I’m sure there are cheaper options. Like a big candy slide or something. But this is pretty geeky.

The Future of Data in Serverless Will Be API-Driven
Fauna’s Evan Weaver and Cloudflare’s Greg McKeon talk about the latest developments in regards to managing data in a serverless system. When I see a podcast from two of my favorite tech companies, I just need to share it around.
