What are you working on? Any new ideas that you're thinking about?

I'm trying up standup comedy this summer -- open mics for now.

I thought it would be absolutely terrifying to be in front of a bunch of strangers and try to make them laugh, but it turns out if you're prepared, it's not that hard. Open mic crowds are benevolent and don't expect you to be the next Richard Pryor or George Carlin anyway, and I don't "engage" the public at all; I just tell my jokes.

I try to come up with new material each time so there's some work to do, but it's fun.

This makes me think a non tech "What are you working on" would be nice.

Getting away from screens for a while would benefit some of us.
